homefries

Diced breakfast potatoes

Homefries are chunks or slices of potato, pan-fried until crispy on the outside.

A staple of American diner breakfasts, served alongside eggs and bacon.

Unlike hash browns, which are shredded, homefries keep their shape and often include onions and peppers: I'll have the omelet with homefries and toast.

Also spelled home fries.
