I went with mashed but it took a lot to make me turn away from hash browns.

The thing about potatoes is that the closer it is to its natural state the less appealing it gets*

*baked potatoes being the exception

Hash browns like a real home fries hash? the shredded Waffle House style? Blocks that are basically a big freaking tater tot?

I went with fries. There's a bunch of different ways that can go, and they're almost all amazing.

The latter two are what I consider a classic hash brown. Home fries aren't terrible but I definitely prefer them shredded (and tots are definitely high up there too!)
 



My backup answer being the style of homefries I grew up with ( which are notably different than the breakfast style ones )

Small potatoes, sliced into 1/8th inches or so cuts, bisected if larger than a teaspoon across, pan fried in butter with onions sliced and broken into rings ( I dunno the proper term for this cut but feared saying "onion rings" ) and cooked until slightly soft, similar to scallops.
