Wiki tells me : Hash browns or hashed browns are a simple preparation in which potato pieces are pan-fried after being shredded, julienned, diced, or riced. In some cultures, hash browns or hashed browns can refer to any of these preparations, while in others it may refer to one specific preparation.
Hash browns are a staple breakfast food at diners in North America, where they are often fried on a large common cooktop or grill.In some parts of the United States, hash browns strictly refer to shredded or riced pan-fried potatoes and are considered a breakfast food (they are part of McDonald’s breakfast combos), while potatoes diced or cubed and pan-fried are also a side dish called country fried potatoes or home fries (though many variations of home fries are par-cooked before frying). Some recipes add diced or chopped onions
