hash-brown

Fried potato patty

Hash-browns are shredded or diced potatoes fried until crispy and golden, typically served as a breakfast side dish: I'll have eggs over easy with hash-browns.

The name refers to the hashing—chopping or cutting—of the potatoes before cooking.

Also spelled as one word or two: hashbrown, hash brown.
