Home fries are breakfast potatoes with some heft. You get browned edges, fluffy centers and chunks big enough to drag through whatever else is on the plate. Their matchup with hash browns is unavoidable—and vicious. Hash brown people want that shredded, crispy sheet; home-fry people want actual bites of potato with a skillet crust. Then there’s the tater tot fight, where breakfast comfort runs into childhood nostalgia. Home fries don’t have the universal reach of French fries, but put them beside eggs on a diner plate and their case becomes much stronger. Are they the best breakfast potato, or does their run end there?
