Hash browns are a classic dish of American cuisine that has won over palates all over the world. Originating from the American breakfast, they consist of shredded potatoes browned until they achieve a crispy texture on the outside and soft on the inside. In Latin America, hash browns may have different names depending on the country; for example, in Mexico they are commonly known as "papas ralladas" or simply "pan-fried potatoes," while in other places like Colombia or Argentina they might be called “tostones de papa” or “crispy potatoes.” This recipe, however, incorporates a spicy twist that highlights the influence and characteristic flavors of Latin cuisine, making them an ideal side dish for any meal or as a delicious snack.
