How it's used
This term is almost exclusively associated with the crispy, golden-brown patties served in fast food breakfast sets. It is rarely used to describe homemade mashed potato cakes unless they share the exact same deep-fried, flat, and oval-shaped characteristics. You will frequently hear it mentioned alongside other breakfast staples like 炒蛋 and 豬柳漢堡.
