1. Had to look it up.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funeral_potatoes
"Funeral 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[8] that is popular in the American Intermountain West and Midwest. People of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) call it "funeral potatoes" because the casserole is commonly served as a side dish during traditional after-funeral dinners,[9] such as those planned by members of the Relief Society[10] (an LDS auxiliary organization). But the dish is also served at other church dinners, both within and outside of the Church (such as holiday dinners), as well as at potlucks and other social gatherings.[11][12]"
