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.

    Which part of Canada are you from? Maybe hashbrowns are a West Coast thing…

      I’m from Ottawa, but admittedly, I didn’t talk to many of my friends and neighbours about potatoes so I don’t really have a good sample to base my assumption on. It could very well have been just my family, haha.

        Oh, same. Tbh, all it says is “hashbrowns” on the bag, so that’s what they were to me, haha.
