Notes

If you're not a fan of sour cream or don't have it on hand, there are alternative options available for your Funeral Potatoes. Greek yogurt is a healthier alternative that can be used instead. Additionally, buttermilk can serve as a great substitute for sour cream. Opt for one of these alternatives to ensure your potatoes maintain their creamy texture.
