I decided to start this thread under Cooking rather than Culture. Feel free to add your Breakfast Potato and Brunch Potato content, whether home cooked or restaurant-sourced. Goals, the potatoes you like, make, dislike, whatever. ![]()

My pet peeve: deep-fried, previously frozen commercial home fries served at restaurants in Toronto. These were served next to a nice Char Siu Benny at Sisters and Co. in Toronto in 2023. The potatoes seen above are very common at Toronto diners and brunch restaurants.

Is it the ubiquity of them or the fact they’re frozen, not fresh, or both that peeves you?

It’s the taste and texture, lack of crispy bits.
One brand has a certain look, with dehydrated parsley in its seasoning.
The texture is mealy, usually. And the oil (the restaurant’s fault here) is often stale.
