Trivia: Potatoes for breakfast

I chose hash browns for breakfast in honor of the poem I just heard on The Writer's Almanac, "Easter Morning" by Jim Harrison:

"On Easter morning all over America
the peasants are frying potatoes in bacon grease.

We're not supposed to have 'peasants'
but there are tens of millions of them
frying potatoes on Easter morning,
cheap and delicious with catsup. [...]

Your ideals are invisible clouds
so try not to suffocate the poor,
the peasants, with your sympathies.
They know that you're staring at them."
