Funeral potatoes (also great potatoes, cheesy potatoes, hash brown casserole,[1] cheesy hash browns,[2][3] those potatoes,[4] or party potatoes[5][6][7]) is a traditional potato hotdish or casserole that is popular in the American Intermountain West and Midwest. It is called "funeral" potatoes because it is commonly served as a side dish during traditional after-funeral dinners,[8] but it is also served at potlucks, and other social gatherings, sometimes with different names.[9][10] The dish has sometimes been associated with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, because of its popularity among members of the Church.[11][12]
