Should 'Homefries' really redirect here? Where I come from (Boston, MA), homefries and hash browns are two different dishes. - Rikoshi 11:12, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Good question... Where I'm from, they're awfully similar. Depending on how different they are in Boston, the two articles might end up getting merged in the end anyway. ~Topaz 11:16, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Home fries pictures

Since this article is about hash browns, the main (and so far, only) picture on the page should not be one of home fries (which, as I note above, are different dishes in at least some parts of the U.S.). Also, the food item in question was most certainly not French fries.

Perhaps a seperate article on home fries should be created? Rikoshi 23:03, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

They are similar enough (and, in some areas, the names are equivalent) that it would probably end up as the same article.
However, you're right about the photos. Pictures of various styles of hashbrowns/homefries should be on this page (the deep-fried McDonald's things, shredded potatoes, and diced potatoes). I'll see what I can do (although hash browns are rare in rural NH). -- Kaszeta 13:22, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Why is there a picture of tater tots?? Those aren't hashbrowns... T-1 14:40, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
