It's a Mormon dish.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funeral_potatoes
Funeral potatoes (also known as Mormon funeral potatoes or party potatoes) are a traditional potato hotdish, or casserole,[4] that may have originated in the Intermountain West region of the United States. Both Mormon and Southern [5] people call this dish funeral potatoes because the casserole is commonly served as a side dish during traditional after-funeral dinners,[6] such as those planned by members of the Relief Society[7] (a LDS auxiliary organization). Funeral potatoes are also served at other social gatherings, such as potlucks, typically in areas with a significant Latter-day Saint population in the Mormon Corridor.[8]
The dish usually consists of hash browns or cubed potatoes, cheese (cheddar or Parmesan), onions, cream soup (chicken, mushroom, or celery) or a cream sauce, sour cream, and is topped with butter and corn flakes or crushed potato chips.[9] Ingredients in other variations include cubed baked ham, frozen peas, or broccoli florets.
