You know you're not from Utah when...


You don't make green jello in a bundt pan.


You don't have a kit to make your own "Utah Poof".


And your funeral potatoes look like this.


Nasty huh? yeah they didn't taste great either. Apparently you don't want to shred your own potatoes for this endeavor. The potatoes over oxidized and turn black. Very fitting for the name.


Oh and Alice was cute. She got stuck in her bumbo chair. She was cute reaching out and saying what sounded like "stuck".

Alice is adorable!

Those potatoes are NOT. :) Thanks for the tip, though, I will remember that.

Our potatoes looked the SAME! I thought I knew how to make these, but then I called my mom after sticking them in the oven, and I guess you're supposed to first cook the potatoes and then shred them. Oops...we thought they would just cook in the dish. (Even after cooking them in the oven for an hour, they still had a raw potato taste-yuck!) Glad we weren't alone.

The easy way is to buy shredded hash browns and use those. (You can also use the cubed hash browns.) But these potatoes are blanched so they don't turn black and they cook just fine in the dish.

Love you!
