Feel like this has to be shredded potatoes, and crispy

I just had some that were basically diced potatoes

They were good, but those aren’t hash browns

Finally. A thread where Frank won’t act like a miserable little b.itch.

Those patties of hash browns from McDonald's really aren't hashbrowns. In other words your post is spot on. They should be on the verge of being burned.

I would consider McDonald’s ones more a potato croquette
It’s a glob of potatoes fried
Not saying they aren’t good once in awhile tho. Just super super greasy

Shredded are my least favorite but all hash browns are great. Just don't put ketchup on them or I will kill you.

I had to look up potatoes o brien just to be sure , but the distinguishing factor is diced bell peppers ?

Dozens of murders....now it makes sense.

The diced/obrien potatoes have their place, but I agree those are not hash browns. Hash browns are shredded and crispy.

The McDs "hash browns" are good at times as well. White Castle hash browns are also good, but they kind of have a unique taste in that they taste very similar to their onion rings.

Big fan of the shredded hash browns. The frozen ones from Trader Joe's are pretty good if you don't want to try grating them yourself. Otherwise, there's pretty decent and cheap graters that are automatic so you don't cut your fingers trying to grate the potatoes the hard way. Red potatoes make the best hash browns. After you grate them, put them on several layers of paper towel and wring them out, drier the better. I use extra virgin olive oil for pan-frying them. I'll do peppers and onions on occasion. I've also used feta cheese with mediterranean herbs sprinkled on top or an aged cheddar.

Frank taking up huge parcels of real estate in your pea brain.

Science suggests that midgets generally have much shorter life spans that normal-sized people. Is this really how you want to live out your remaining years?

Great, now I have a taste for Waffle House's hash browns.

Shredded, well done, with fried onions.

Yes ketchup.

Yeah I don't get the ketchup thing. Salt only or maybe some hot sauce. Ketchup sounds kind of gross. Admittedly, I haven't tried it though.

Me too, and I'm avoiding them even though they are only five miles away. No way I trust that any Waffle House can avoid COVID.

As to the original question, I like both potato cakes (McDonald's, Arby's, Bojangles) as well as the Waffle House / diner style. On the latter, i am picky because shredding the potatoes was part of my summer job as a teenager. So i never make them at home, because i can't get them right without filling an entire dishwasher with equipment!

They need to be slightly burnt. I hate when they are under cooked.

I like all kinds of hash browns. Very solid food.

I do like the diced potato kinds as long as they are cooked right.

Too many places over do them so the whole thing is the friedish typed part and no potato

Shredded and crispy. Put a couple sunny side eggs on top and mix it all together with a little Tabasco.

love them shredded and crispy but the only places I have found that make them well are the greek diners

corned beef hash, scrambled eggs and shredded hash browns...when the plate arrives, mix them all together

If they're diced and made with onions and green peppers AND they are cooked properly so they are crispy then they are pretty amazing O'Brien potatoes. The no longer there Lincoln Restaurant used to have great O'Brien Potatoes.

Best hash browns I've ever had were from the Pancake Pantry in Nashville.

I now know how old I've gotten. I can (and prefer) to eat breakfast twice a day. Unfortunately the closest Waffle House is in Bloomington.

HASH browns or hash BROWNS?

My dad makes the best pancakes and scrambled eggs with cheese. I'd love to go live with them again. Sunday mornings were great.

Hash browns are hard for me for some reason especially from scratch. O'brien/roasted I'm pretty good.
