home fry

Cubed breakfast spud

Home fry is a chunk of potato, usually with skin on, pan-fried until crispy on the outside.

Almost always plural: I'll have eggs with home fries.

Distinguished from hash browns by being cut into distinct pieces rather than shredded.

A staple of American diner breakfasts.
