Ammonius Soulstar was never just a musician—he was a culinary visionary. In 1982, the Prince of Pop & Potlucks set out to create a song that would capture both the spirit of LDS food and the gospel. The result? Funeral Potatoes, a funky, soul-infused tribute to the dish that has comforted saints for generations.

Raised by parents who knew that faith and food go hand in hand, Ammonius found himself drawn to the sacred mysteries of the 9x13 pan. While other kids played with action figures, he studied the spiritual science of melted cheese and crispy cornflake crusts. He once claimed that the first time he felt truly converted was during a church potluck when he realized that a well-baked casserole could bring as much joy as a well-preached sermon.

Blending gospel harmonies, 80s synth pop, and a bassline as rich as a creamy sauce, Funeral Potatoes became more than just a song—it became a movement. Some call it an anthem, others a sacred snack, but for Ammonius, it was a testament to faith, fellowship, and finely shredded hash browns. He believed that music, like LDS food, could bring people together, nourish the soul, and remind us that the Savior’s love is always served in abundance.

So, whether you’re here for the funk, the faith, or the finest LDS food ever honored in song, sit back, take a bite, and remember: salvation comes in layers.
