Funeral potatoes · Salt Lake City

Funeral potatoes are a casserole of hash brown potatoes, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, shredded cheddar cheese and crushed cornflakes or potato chips.

Funeral potatoes evolved within the Latter-day Saint Relief Society community-feeding tradition through the mid-20th century. The casserole became canonical at post-funeral receptions across Utah, hence the name, but moved into wedding receptions, holiday potlucks and any large community meal. The dish is sometimes called Mormon potatoes outside Utah; locally, the funeral-potatoes name is sincere and unironic, recognizing the casserole's central role in community grief-feeding.
