Fried potatoes
This item is not one of the hotel breakfast items that you should definitely avoid due to a health reason like we have seen before.
But rather, the chance that you will get good fried potatoes is very slim, and chances are that they will be disappointing. So it is better to just avoid it.
If you do not believe us, take the word of the late celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain, who has also worked as a breakfast chef in his career.
He mentioned in interviews that fried potatoes are made en masse, and then they are re-heated when they need to be taken on the floor. This may be why you find them to be disappointing or off-tasting sometimes.
Likewise, he mentioned that a lot of spots tend to not cook them thoroughly, so they are also not crispy on the exterior.
Truth be told, fried potatoes are best eaten fresh, so hotel breakfasts are bound to be sub-par. Anthony Bourdain recommends you opt for the hash browns if they serve them since that one’s bound to be miles ahead!
