Hash browns

About hash browns
Finely chopped, cooked potatoes that are fried (often in bacon fat) until well browned. The mixture is usually pressed down into a flat cake in the fresh pan and browned on one side, then turned and browned on the other. It is sometimes only browned on one side. Other ingredients, such as the real, chopped or minced onion and green pepper, are often added for flavor and excitement.
