Waffle House hashbrowns: how do you want it?

Sizes
Regular
Large
Triple

Scattered on the grill AND…”
Smothered - grilled onions
Covered - melted cheese
Chunked - hickory smoked ham
Diced - grilled tomatoes
Peppered - jalapeno peppers
Capped - grilled mushrooms
Topped - Bert’s chili
Country - sausage gravy

All the way - all of the above

If anyone’s never eaten at Waffle House, the hashbrowns are something you don’t necessarily go there for, but you kind of always have to get. The words in bold are the key words you use to order.

“Browns: scattered, smothered, covered, chunked” would be a regular size topped with grilled onions, cheese, and ham cubes.

How do you want 'em?

(no poll; with the three sizes and those 8 options not counting “all the way,” there are hundreds of unique combinations; with additional ingredients like ketchup, or different cooking methods (plain with oil, seared well, steamed with ice, or cooked dry), the number of unique combinations can go into 6 or 7 figures)

And this is exactly how I order them every time.

Triple smothered, peppered plus coin flip between country and covered.

Large, smothered and capped.

Smothered, covered, peppered, capped.

I liked different combos each time. But smothered and capped appeal to me most at this time.

Large smothered, chunked and diced, well-done. The peppers, mushrooms and cheese will be in the accompanying omelet.

Large, capped and if you got some green peppers to toss in you get an extra 10% tip.

Large Scattered Covered and Smothered. With Two Eggs over easy on top.

We don’t have them around here but I sometimes stop at WH when on the road.
Make mine regular, smothered, peppered, extra crispy.

Large hash browns extra crispy.

None of the additional toppings.

Another order of “plain” extra crispy here, regular size. With some biscuits and gravy and I’ll need a bottle of Tabasco sauce please.

I was on LinkedIn earlier and they suggested the CEO of Waffle House as a connection.

I’ve been to Waffle Houses like 2 or 3 times. The last time 20 years ago. That’s my entire relation to the thing.

Dear Algorithm: Missed it by thaaaat much.

Capped and Peppered and Country please :slight_smile:

*** hey, why isn’t it “Countried”? Can we have a little consistency here?! ***

ETA:



Au contraire! They are the raison d’existence!

I don’t go there and have no plans to, but based on that description I would take everything through peppered.

Covered, but it seems they’ve gotten cheap on us these days.

I vaguely remember ordering covered in my younger days, and the whole hashbrown would be covered. Now, they just throw one small slice on top leaving the outter edges uncovered.

For shame!!!

Large Scattered, and either Covered or Country (or maybe both)

Smothered, Covered, and Chunked. A large can be a whole meal for me.

Smothered, covered, with a side of bacon I crumble up on top.

I won’t go to Waffle House, because what the heck is the use of a waffle in a place that doesn’t have real butter? No use whatsoever, that’s what.

Hmph.
