Description on the menu: "Hash browns"
Actual description: More like a potato cake: tiny potato nuggets clumped together into a large cake about an inch thick and pan-seared on each side, creating a crusty outside layer of slightly fried potato. Inside, the potato stays mushy with bits of potato with slightly thicker consistency, but without noticeably varying texture. The cake is then cut into slices, which is served along side their Herb Omelette or alone as a side. Tasty, but not hash browns.

Doesn't Prune have pretty yummy hash browns? I like this search :)
ReplyDeleteprune hash browns = very dry flavorless potatoe thing. the texture is good, the flavour is nonexistent.
ReplyDeleteElina, yes, Prune has EXCELLENT Potatoes Rosti. Not quite hash browns, but close. I just wrote a bit about it today. Anonymous: Prune has most definitely improved their Potatoes Rosti from a year ago. The Potatoes Rosti is bigger, much more moist (better than when they used to fry it up so much that there was barely any potato left)... They have gone back to their before-recession-form. It's delicious.
