Re: What is the world coming to?
What about the potato scallop/fritter? It's essentially a hash brown, and well known in Britain.
Bubble and squeak is a classic English breakfast accompaniment, and is also somewhat similar.
I don't know why so many have suddenly come out against the hash brown, just because the common term for the item is American in origin. Mushed up potato fried up in some vague patty shape is definitely not exclusively American.
