What to call this 'snack'?

I don't know what it's called. I once tried making a hash brown at home but it wasn't quite a hash brown. Basically I peeled and grated some potatoes and one onion. I squeezed the moisture out using a kitchen towel. I then cracked an egg into it and seasoned it. I made them into little patties and shallow fried them in very little oil. They don't look or taste like hash browns - but they are delicious and I now make them every Sunday for my breakfast.

Has anyone made anything like that before and if so does it have a specific name?

It actually looks like that !

But I'm still gutted I can't make hash browns at home. I followed the recipe I used exactly and ended up with the 'latke' lol.

Potato and onion. Lovely! I do something similar with grated potato and onion, which I mix with grated cheese and sometimes chives, season well, and press the mixture into oiled muffin tins and bake. They're lovely, too!

I'll try that this weekend. How long did you bake them for? I actually added cheese to the first post recipe on Sunday and it tasted just as good.

I don't often go to M&S but I bought a Moroccan spice mill from there a while ago and it's been adding a great punch to a lot of my dishes.

I think about 20 mins but just until it was browned and looked cooked, really. I par-boiled the potatoes first. (They don't have a name, either!).
I'll look out for the mill. Sounds useful.

I think you need to rename them 'Abibbles' They do sound yummy - I might give them a go. A couple, with a fried egg on top, would make a perfect Sunday brunch!

Sounds much like a Tortilla (Spanish omelette) to me.

I concur with this theory.

Don't think you have egg in a rosti though.

Because of it being a fried grated potato cake I aslo would have said rosti or even a boxtie but it would depend on where you are and there'll be many variations on a theme. Just look at the wiki entry for related content.

No, that's why I thought latke. But there are many varieties on the theme, as degsy says, so 'potato pancake' might cover it!

Aah ok! Thanks for that. I'll let you know how I find them.

Haha I like that idea! You should definitely give it a go. I seasoned it with the Moroccan spice mill from M&S and some green herby thing my mum brought back from Oslo (I think it was dill).

Around here a fadge was a bread like a stottie but denser because of the use of potato.

Kartoffelpuffer or potato pancakes.

Usually they have flour, but this recipe is flourless:

Well, fadge for me is a flat, fried potato bread made with mashed/riced potato and flour mixed into a dough with milk and then fried in butter. A stottie looks like an english muffin from what I can see on Google.

I'd say what the OP made was certainly a variant on a hash brown recipe, just not like the sort of hash browns you get in the freezer section.
