[BiggDick]

Man, the Snug.

Haven't thought about that place in a minute.

Bottomless mimosa Sundays was the kinda thing my younger self would get his money's worth. Fuckin trouble, man. Prob what put them outta business.

you are aware that hash browns do not actually contain any hash...right?

I rarely disagree with you.
But you are DEAD wrong on this.

*Unless you are talking about the Sunflour Cafe in Monte Vista. I recall we both enjoyed those bad boys!

LOL, the article about it closing mentions your type specifically. Middle-age crowd all week, millenials on Saturday Night, Sunday morning.

Home Fries are just cubed potatoes. It's fucking lazy. Do Better.

[BiggDick]

yea. I tend to like the heartiness of some taters in the morning.

I don't not love hashbrowns too. But if they're over done, they can just kinda be a crunchy greasy void of what used to be starch.

I'll again tout (oops) Sharky's for their breakfast potatoes. They're more home fries, but also kinda crushed up while cooked on the flat top, so you get some thicker heartier bites plus some crunchier bites. Best of both worlds.

I have rarely been to a place that actually makes "home fries" crispy

That's the problem, they're nearly always undercooked, and almost never crispy.

Hashed browns, on the other hand, have much more surface area and are usually crispy.

Its that fine line of crispy and incinerated...while not being cold chunks of potato.

When they are cooked right, and seasoned correctly........

Conversely, hash browns can often be flat hard discs of what used to be a potato...or a greasy slab of potato mush.

let's all savor this thread cuz it's getting so effing tasty

That's true, it happens.

Full Disclosure: Potatoes barely make my top 5 of what a good breakfast includes.

Bacon
Eggs
Biscuits & Gravy
Pancakes
Potatoes

And, if there's no biscuits & gravy, then toast made with a hearty bread would come before potatoes.

potatoes o'brien are pretty damn good as part of a breakfast.

Going to Sedona in May, definitely gonna try this spot!
Thanks!

i hope it’s as good as it used to be

another couple spots you might find yourself moseying by: the Elkhorn Cafe, just outside of Chama, NM, and the Roadrunner Cafe between Espanola and Santa Fe

Elkhorn might have the best juevos rancheros i’ve had, and Roadrunner has phenomenal sopapillas

Great suggestions.

Potato Pancakes are better than both home fries and hash browns

[Overlander]

I love Chama.
We are planning to do an Overlanding trip in late 2025 from Vancouver through Montana, central Wyoming, down the middle of Colorado (a stop in the valley to hand out with some Jayhawks) into NM, over to Bisbee, then Death Valley, up 395 into Oregon and then home.
