POLOKWANE – Hash browns or hashed browns are a simple preparation in which potatoes are pan-fried after being shredded, diced, julienned or riced.
The word “hash” is derived from the French word “hacher” which means to hack or chop. This means hashed browned potatoes literally translate to “chopped and fried potatoes”.
