The diverse recipes combined used three types of Utah Cheeses: Beehive (Cajun, Promontory, Cheddar, Gossner and Drake Family Farms Goat Cheese; as well as butter and milk from Winder Dairy and Meadow Gold. One participant even added fresh onions to his recipe from the Downtown Farmers' Market.
Chef Tom from ABC 4's Good Things Utah, Barbara Schieving, a Utah Food Blogger, and James Carroll, account manager at Richter7, judged each recipe on appearance, taste and use of local products.
The judges unanimously named Jessica Yescas' recipe as the Utah's Own Best Funeral Potatoes. Jessica used Meadow Gold Butter and Sour Cream in her potatoes, as well as her own homemade cream of chicken soup.
Although Jessica's funeral potatoes tasted wonderful, her dish also was ranked the highest in product appearance with the use of her fresh peppers and herbs:
