Hashbrowns are a popular breakfast dish made primarily from shredded or diced potatoes that are pan-fried until golden and crispy. Originating in the United States in the late 19th century, they’ve become a staple in Western breakfast cuisine and are often served alongside eggs, bacon, and toast. Traditionally, hashbrowns are prepared with minimal ingredients—potatoes, oil or butter, and salt—but variations may include onions, spices, or herbs for added flavor. Nutritionally, they provide a good source of carbohydrates, which offer quick energy, and some fiber, particularly if prepared with the potato skins. However, their health profile depends on the cooking method; frying can increase calories and fat content, especially if prepared with excessive oil or butter. For a healthier alternative, hashbrowns can be baked or air-fried. While delicious and versatile, moderation is key when enjoying this comforting classic.
