Do hash browns have to be made from patatoes? I thought it's made of
rice.

Nope, they have to be made from shredded potatoes (in my North American
experience).

Hash Browns are shredded potatoes, pan-fried or cooked on the grill. I've
never seen or heard of rice being used instead.

I have often seen them made from potatoes that have been cut into
small chunks, not shredded. (Canada).

Very common in this area. The form of "hash browns" seems to be
determined by the specific restaurant and not by any general rule.

Ah, another one to go with "roast beef", "ice cream", "ice water",
"shave ice", "fry bread" and the like.

In my experience, more upscale American restaurants cook them that
way, instead of cooking shredded potatoes. They are often cooked
together with fried onions.
