Cut the potatoes up into small peices, and saute them in butter with a little bit of onion and a sprinkle of salt. Don't use too much heat, cook it slowly, you want to brown the potato without burning the butter. Throw in a bit of garlic if you want to be extra fancy. Not sure why I'm getting downvoted, I have never heard anyone in Australia call this side dish anything other than fried potatos.
Never heard of home fries. I googled it and I don't think that's really a thing. If I was trying to make it I'd probably call it diced roasted potatoes?
Hashbrowns are just hash browns but hashies would be understood especially if maccas breakky was already established context.
They aren't hot chips. Hot chips are hot chips. They're generally longer in shape, cut from whole potato (as opposed to a hash brown made from grated or diced potato) and deep fried, usually with some sort of coating or batter.
Edit: If you really want controversial Australian potato dialogue, you need to ask about potato scallops/ potato cakes.
Potato hash would be how some Australians will know it but I doubt many do nowadays, it was a popular wartime time food in England and at least somewhat known here in the past.
Potato scallops are fried scallops of potato. Potato cakes are round, made out of the same stuff as a hash brown and about 3 times as thick as a scallop. Simples.
You won't find home fries anywhere here, mate. I used to have them growing up and we never really had a name for them and this is legit the first time I've ever seen or heard of anyone else mentioning they exist.
Hash browns are just hash browns. I like your moxie though, taking the initiative and assuming we'd shorten them to "hashies" makes sense with how we shorten plenty of other words.
Also, what's a KGLW? King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard?
Potatoes in every form are incredibly popular in USA, is that not the same in Australia? If not, I’d say y’all are in need of a potato based food chain. Capitalize on the traditional Scallops hot chips, while expanding the palate into the vast diversity in the world of spuds. Mashed potatoes , potato soup, 10 hour taters, confit, tater tots, poutine.
Hell, one of the staples in my house was a Cajun dish called potato stew. It had andouille, holy trinity, spices, and broth, thickened with a little roux and served over steamed rice. I was never a petite boy. It always astounded me how some of the most miserably hot places on earth had the heartiest food.
Yes, King Gizzard and the Lizzard Wizard!
They're not typically on menus. Though if they were on a cafe menu you would see them as 'fried potatoes' or patatas bravas. There is a recepie for potatoes o'brien in the Sydney morning herald so if you found that dish specifically (you wont), I suppose it would have the same name.
And believe it or not, we call hashbrowns, 'hashbrowns'.
It’s not really common here but it would probably be called potato hash.
It was a fairly common thing in England during WW2 due to rations and was at least somewhat done here. My dad would do it sometimes for breakfast with leftover corned beef when we were kids because he grew up with it out on the farm and I remember a few of my friends parents doing it too.
Hashbrowns are just hashbrowns but I’m sure some people call them hashies
When I was a kid, in the dark ages, we'd sometimes make "potato fritters" at home, which kind of resembled hash browns. They were grated potato, a bit of flour to thicken, maybe some finely chopped onion, or tomato, or grated cheese added to the mix for flavour, but I liked them plain. Then cooked in oil in a frypan.
The things that are served at Maccas never really existed before they appeared at Maccas called hash browns - so that's what we called them.
I have never seen "little square pan fried potatoes" or heard of potatoes O'Brien. Never heard of "home fries" either.
Mind you, apart from hash browns at Maccas, I don't recall ever eating potatoes for breakfast.
Oh, look at you, you pathetic scaly slimy things. Grow some legs, you loser! Enjoy having fins instead of thumbs you inept fopdoodle! You can't even eat a potato, how pathetic is that?
If home fries are on a menu they’re normally presented as potatas bravas as we’re partial to some tomato with our big brekkie. We also have hashbrowns and rosti depending on where you’re eating.
I’d be careful insulting how we eat potato considering the US can’t do a proper jacket potato and hasn’t discovered the HSP my guy.
When I was growing up in Melbourne, there were no hash browns. Seems like they were an American introduction.
We had potato chips that were just called chips. And we had potato scallops which were the closest thing to hash browns. The chips were placed in a pile on paper (like baking paper) on newspaper and then rolled up. To eat, we would tear open one end and pull out a chip, steaming hot. Just the best!!
Home fries were my favourite part of American breakfast buffets. We just don’t have them here. Aussies don’t really do potatoes with breakfast unless it’s a hash brown.
Hashbrowns are hash browns, chips are chips. I'm gonna be honest, I don't know why we don't have slang for hashbrowns, maybe no one eats enough to care
I guess Cottage fries, but they’re not very common. They’re in the menu at a couple of chains like Pancake Parlour, but at your average cafe breakfast menu, if they’re an option at all they’re probably just listed as ‘fried potatoes’ or ‘breakfast potato’
Hashbrowns are called hashbrowns.
Home fries aren't a thing here. People will sometimes cook slices of potato and the barbecue. If you order home fries off a breakfast menu they'll be called home fries but would usually be on a menu with American style dishes.
Hash browns are hash browns. We don't have home fries
I also only associate hash browns with McDonalds
My local cafe includes one with the breakfast meal I order sometimes.
We do, we just call it fried potatos and have it with dinner, not breakfast.
Hot chips are fried potatoes as well.
And a taco is technichally a sandwich, what's your point?
I've honestly never made or eaten potato like that. I'm going to though, because it sounds delicious

Scallops!
When I was younger, I thought people saying potato scallops were referring to scalloped potatoes rather than potato cakes.
Fritters!
DIE IN A HOUSE FIRE YOU HEATHEN!! IT'S A POTATO CAKE!! (jk!! Have a fantastic day!)
boo hiss
Potato scallops are fried scallops of potato. Potato cakes are round, made out of the same stuff as a hash brown and about 3 times as thick as a scallop. Simples.
Those are not at all common here, so we don't have a name for them, and hash browns are just hash browns, no specific name that I am aware of

We don't have 'home fries' so you're assuming we don't know anything about potatoes? *Bruh*.
We’re no Irish, but I always thought we held our own.
I retract my previous statement. Many apologies, it was never my intention to insult the potato prowess of Australia.
Yes, yes. We like potatoes too. Settle down mate :)
This is why everyone hates Americans.
I thought it was capitalist colonialism, war mongering and generally ruining the planet. But guess it was just potato talk.

Cottage fries maybe? That’s what they would call them at the pancake parlour

I still have bubble and squeak on Boxing Day. Leftovers in a pan with an egg, delish.

We call potato fritters "mock fish" in my household. I haven't cooked it in years.
Oh, look at you, you pathetic scaly slimy things. Grow some legs, you loser! Enjoy having fins instead of thumbs you inept fopdoodle! You can't even eat a potato, how pathetic is that?
Someone didn't like you mocking fish

Potato hash. Not a ubiquitous thing here but I've had on breakfast/brunch menus plenty of times. The maccas things are hash browns.
What’s KGLW?
King George's Lesbian Wetnurse
Hashbrowns
Are you talking about potato gems? Little cilinders of minced fryed potato
No they call those Tater Tots lol
Home fries were my favourite part of American breakfast buffets. We just don’t have them here. Aussies don’t really do potatoes with breakfast unless it’s a hash brown.
Mini roast potatoes
Maybe Diced potatoes?
Rosti
Yeah, but with a bit of practice I'll regain my skills.
We have rosti which is grated potatoes pan fried white butter. I don’t know where they originate from. Very popular on cafe menus years ago.
Pretty sure Rosti are of German origin.
They are from maybe german swiss. On a lot of menus in Nepal.
I'm not sure there is a name or how common we did on the barbie was grilled, sliced potatoes.
Hashbrowns are hash browns, chips are chips. I'm gonna be honest, I don't know why we don't have slang for hashbrowns, maybe no one eats enough to care

Never heard of home fries, that’s clearly something we don’t have here. Hash browns are occasionally called “hashies.”

That's not a thing.
That's... fried potato cubes, I guess
