You might’ve thought Monopoly always ended in a family fight, well the potato is one veggie troublemaker with friends and family. Who knew a potato could be so controversial, but the debate continues as some argue for morning hash browns over home fries and vice versa.
Apparently, the way you chop, slice, dice, or grate a potato matters greatly. And it does. The fork-to-mouth experience depends on it. When it comes to hash browns or home fries, breakfast eaters tend to immediately take sides and feel strongly about their chosen breakfast potato preference. So, what is the big deal?
Ultimate satisfaction!
There’s nothing worse than having a sub-par eating experience when you’re hungry (maybe even starving) and paying and hoping not to be disappointed. Breakfast time is especially important to get right as it sets the pace for the rest of your day. The type of breakfast potato you eat could kick off your day in high spirits or send you down a spiral of (edible) non-edible frustration.
Let’s highlight the best of both potatoes and you can decide what you think is best.
Hot and Crispy Hash Browns
Native to the United Kingdom, hash browns are a popular American breakfast side item found on most menus across the country. What makes them special is how they are prepared. Potatoes are finely grated into a pile-high stack that is then transferred to a hot pan with oil to fry it up crispy style.
Hash browns are seldom found on a lunch or dinner menu, making them traditionally associated with breakfast dishes. They’re yummy with sausage links, patties, eggs, bacon, and salsa – just to name a few.
Crispy and Fluffy Home Fries
Home Fries are served up hot and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. How do they get this way? Potatoes are first parboiled to break them down on the inside and then sliced and fried up in oil. They usually come served up wedged or cubed making them fatter than your regular fries. The biggest distinction they have from hash browns is the fluffy middle.
Let the Yum Times Roll
Everyone has their preference, but it’s usually one of those things that you have a knee-jerk response to right away. You know exactly what you like. You either love hash browns or you hate them and vice versa. Finely grated and crisped hash browns or crispy outside and fat, fluffy home fries?
