hashbrown

Fried potato patty

A hashbrown is a breakfast food made from shredded or diced potatoes, pressed flat and fried until crispy and golden brown: I'll have eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns.

The dish is a staple of American diners and fast-food breakfasts.

Also spelled hash brown or hash browns.
