What else would you eat them with? Hot sauce would work, but ketchup is ideal for pretty much any fried potato
Well what IHOP calls hash browns is like a pile of shredded, basically flavorless potatoes. What McDonald's calls a hash brown is a large flat tater tot. That is all I know of hash browns.
I've never had hash browns from IHOP. I'll put ketchup when I make those diced breakfast potatoes but regular hash browns are just too pure. I love potatoes. I should go buy some.
I cook these until they're almost crispy aka dry. They need something on them, and that something is ketchup.
hash browns are great with some kind of spicy sauce. I think tobasco is good on them but really I only ever use tobasco for potatoes anyways. never had hash browns with ketchup.
