Can an English breakfast include hash browns?

Hash browns are not traditional and do not form part of the required Five Pillars of a Full English breakfast. They are an American import and a modern substitution for traditional British potato dishes. Under the Society's framework, hash browns are considered an optional extra rather than a core component. While they are now common in many cafés, they must never be used to replace or displace a core pillar, such as bubble and squeak or fried bread. The inclusion of hash browns as an addition is acceptable, provided the five core pillars remain distinct and the structural integrity of the plate is preserved. However, using them as a substitute for a traditional starch represents a departure from established tradition and violates the English Breakfast brand standards.
