Is a latke hash brown?

Latkes and hash browns are both made of shredded potatoes, but they are not the same.

- Hash browns are a traditional American breakfast dish made from shredded potatoes that are pan-fried until crispy and golden brown. They are often served with eggs, bacon, and toast.

- Latkes are a traditional Jewish potato pancake that is made from grated potatoes that are mixed with eggs, onions, and flour and then fried in oil. Latkes are often served with applesauce or sour cream.

So, while latkes and hash browns are both made from potatoes, they have different ingredients, shapes, and preparations, making them distinct dishes.
