Review: Taco Bell - Hash Browns

Another one of the items I tried off of Taco Bell's current iteration of their breakfast test was the classic Hash Brown for 99 cents.

As a kid, I loved these things. Whenever we would get breakfast from a fast food place (usually McDonald's), I would wolf one of these things down and try and angle for another through either pleading, cajoling, or trickery. I've since learn restraint and moderation (or so I like to tell myself anyway) but still have a special place in my stomach for the occasional hash brown.
Taco Bell's version is noticeably bigger than McDonald's version; it is definitely wider and perhaps a little bit taller but it's also a little bit thin as hash browns go.

Mine's came crispy and warm and, for the most part, I enjoyed it... but, it was too thin. The thinness makes it slightly drier than most hash browns. There's very little of that fluffy, moist potato interior which is just a little weird and off-putting to me.

I'd still eat it again though.
