Description on the menu: "Hash browns"
Actual description: Served in a mini-cast iron pan lays a miniature wedge of mushed potatoes with a slightly crispy edge. Despite this awkward description--and the fact that it not true to its name... no hash browns here--it is savory and delicious. However, onion-haters beware: There is a distinct flavor of sauteed onions mixed throughout the potato cake, and in some areas, the flavor is like eating straight-up onion. This version of "hash brown" (aka: potato cake) is very similar to Cafe Cluny's in consistency and texture; however, the inside potato is a bit more moist at CBGB's and the outside potato has an almost caramelized-coating, which is down-right delectable. However, CBGB's potato cake could use a dash more salt to counter the sweetened taste of the onion. A nice side order and will satisfy that potato-craving, but still, no hash browns.
