hashbrowns

Fried potato gratings

Hashbrowns are shredded or diced potatoes fried until crispy and golden brown, typically served at breakfast alongside eggs.

The texture varies from loose shreds to compressed patties.

Also spelled as two words: hash browns.

I'll have the eggs with hashbrowns instead of toast.
