If you were at Tom’s funeral service, you may recall there was a recipe for cheesy potatoes in the funeral program. We had the space; Tom was an awesome cook; it seemed appropriate to include it.
Since then, I’ve received a couple fun comments about what we did with the recipe. It followed a verse of “How Great Thou Art” in the program, and one of my goofy friends claimed she didn’t realize where the song stopped and the recipe started, and sang “one 32-ounce package of thawed hash browns” when the rest of the congregation had stopped.
Another came today, when a co-worker shared: “I made Tom’s Cheesy Potatoes to take to a pot luck for my small group from church. They turned out great and were a big hit with everyone going back for seconds. I also told everyone a little about Tom and that he is the person who really deserves credit for the recipe. A toast was lifted in his honor. 
“
I’m glad that Tommy’s cooking talents are going on, out into the world. They’re sure missed around here!
Thanks all, for letting me know how Tom (and / or his potatoes) has touched your lives.

For those of us unable to attend the services, I think you’d be doing us all a great favor if you reprinted Tom’s recipe here on the blog! Thanks.
