    I like them all. Even McDonald's hash browns!
    I love McDonald's hash browns. Their breakfast food is my guilty pleasure.

Hash browns are also the formed patties of shredded potatoes that McDonald's sells. But hash is definitely shredded.

    If your significant other is a man, never send them to the store. They will mess it up on purpose so you don't send them again.
    LOL. Too funny!

    The things McD's sells as hash browns are oversized 'tater tots.
    Thank you!!! And totally agree with you on the Mic D's being oversized tater tots. As far as driving, I don't drive.

    I learned a long time ago and in cooking for people from all over the USA on those boats, that different people call the same things different names.

    I didn't know those were called home fries. I understand home fries to be long, rectangularly cut deep-fried potatoes. (Like oversized French fries) But I'd like a big serving of the LH version of home fries, please! No bacon in mine, though. Do I put some oil or butter in the pan before I saute it? Do I start with cooked potatoes and how big should the cubes be?

    To make the best home fries, I think you need to start with cooked potatoes, though it is hard to handle them. Maybe partially cook them. And, use a press to absorb some of the water, or drain them. And, use a heavy duty cast iron skillet. I like them 'well done' (i.e., burnt). Throw in some onion, OO, and just fry them. Never really taste the same.

    I use cooked potatoes, preferably cooled, then saute in the aforementioned heavy cast iron frying pan with onions, butter, and peppers, with just a touch of paprika, salt and pepper. Fry them until they're well browned.

    Goes really well with an omelet. When I really cook breakfast, it takes me a while.

    I think of sliced potatoes that have a nice ccrunchy edge from being in the frying pan but the interior is soft. Hashbrowns are hashbrowns, a completely different food.
