In North America, we have McCain hashbrowns that are tiny cubed potatoes you find in the freezer aisle. In Australia, hashbrowns are hashbrowns patties, and we don’t have the cubes. I haven’t been able to find them anywhere.
I was hit with nostalgia this morning, so I made hashbrowns. Just cut up whatever potatoes I had in to 0.5cm cubes and fried them up in the pan. Fried some onions and capsicum on the side and then added together.
Usually I put in a bit of bacon or sausage, but we’re going to a German restaurant for dinner tonight, so I’m saving my fatty meat allocation for later.
Seasoned with Hy’s seasoning salt.
Even as a Canadian, I never knew these things were called hash browns. Hash browns have always been those things you can get at McDonald’s (patties, as you called em). I thought these were hashed potatoes.
I love regional differences.
