Scalloped Potatoes aka Funeral Potatoes: Plea for Help

Hey Everyone,

Potatoes are one of the few things I can eat right now without dryheaving, so they are in heavy demand in my house.

I got a new recipe for funeral potatoes from my mom, who got it from my grandma, who got it from the old lady in her ward of whom everyone requested to make her funeral potatoes for every funeral in the ward (my grandma lives in a retirement community so there are funerals on a fairly regular basis, fyi).

The recipe sounded ok, and it even smelled ok while it was baking. When it came out, it tasted disgusting. My husband and son wouldn't even touch it, the dish tasted so gross. I'm thinking elderly taste buds must be very different from mine and my family's...

I need a recipe for scalloped potatoes or funeral potatoes soon! I don't want to have another fail in this category because that will just send me right over the edge. Do you have one I should try??
