How do you say "hashbrowns" in Spanish?

Question

How do you say "hashbrowns" potatos when ordering at a restaurant?

I'm not sure how to say hashbrowns in Spanish, but when you find out, make sure you can also say "ketchup" because you can't have one without the other. - trip2themoon, Sep 29, 2011

"El catsup" o "la salsa de tomate". :)) - Noetol, Jan 10, 2014

Answer 1

I believe they are called "croquetas de papa".

Answer 2

I am with Noetol, trying to say hashbrowns in spanish is like trying to say gnocci in english, or spetzle in english,or mole in english. Yes we have hashbrowns here in Mexico, but they are "hashbrowns" not many restaurants serve them. And by the way kechup by any other name is ketchup even here!

Answer 3

Hashbrowns are a very specific kind of fried potato, so I don't think "papas fritas" is going to work. You could just as easily get French fries ordering this.

Just as when you say in English "I'd like enchiladas", I think you would just use the name for the food, "hashbrowns".

"Croquetas de papa". Would get you this:

Latkes de papa would be like this:

And what will get me all the above? jeje - rac1, Jan 10, 2014

Answer 4

¡No es papas fritas!

It's like tortilla de papa, aunque las tortillas no son crujientes. Sería como croquetas de papa. So you can say: Croquetas de papa, papa hashbrowns, tortilla de papa, but the best and widely known name for me is: latkes de papa....

If you can correct my english... It's ok. (If I say something wrong)

Interesting.."latkes" is a Jewish potato pancake which is similar to hashbrowns, although moe formed, with egg and onion. - Noetol, Jan 10, 2014
