The Hash Slinging Slasher
If you’re looking for the origins of the Hashbrown then you might turn to our neighbors in Switzerland. The Swiss hold the origins of the earliest types of hash, a dish that’s simply known as Rösti. Rösti is a potato dish where they’re sautéed or shallow-fried until Crispy. It’s such a popular dish that many Swiss consider it to be the national dish, but it’s not just regulated to breakfast! Rösti can be found as often as the main dish, as a side dish, and can be found in most Swiss restaurants. The main difference between American Hashbrowns and Rösti is that American hashbrowns are finely chopped potatoes that are fried until brown. While Rösti can be dated back to 1598, Hashbrowns started appearing on Breakfast menus around the 1890s in New York City.
They didn’t start off being called hashbrowns but when you get into the etymology of how we got to simply Hashbrowns is a little fuzzy. The earliest renditions were called anything from Brown Hashed Potatoes to Potatoes hashed brown. They weren’t nearly as catchy as just Hashbrowns but you can see how the language around them evolved into the modern-day name.
No matter the history of Hashbrowns, they’re a classic American breakfast staple that satisfies time and time again. These Cheesy Bacon Loaded Hashbrowns are sure to be no expectation, and in fact, they may even become one of your favorite breakfast staples.
