These 'taters are yummy. Here in Utah they are known as "funeral potatoes". Whenever there is a funeral, there is usually a luncheon for the family after the service. Thus, these potatoes have been made as a comfort food. Although there are various recipies, (I personally like sinful potatoes!), they are great! When I'm out of frozen potatoes, I boil ( or nuke them) shred them, and so ahead with the rest of the recipe.
