Hash browns and home fries

Why is it so hard to find decent breakfast potatoes in Chicago? No matter where I go for breakfast, I am almost always met with underwhelming breakfast potates, be they hash browns or home fries. For hash browns, so many places seem to overload the grill. They toss on a pile of sliced or diced potatoes and do not spread them out. This causes the potatoes to steam. And while they are cooked, they are also very unappealing, with very little browning or crispy bits. For shredded hash browns, they never seem to stir them enough and you wind up with a pile of mushy steamed potato shreds and a bunch of pieces that are two crispy. For home fries, they are so often either over seasoned or not seasoned at all, and neither option is all that good. Granted, this is better than underwhelming hash browns, but it is still not all that great. And, Yes, I can make some excellent hash browns and home fries at home, but I also sometimes want to go out for breakfast, and that is where I am underwhelmed and disappointed

So, with all of that being said, where do you go to get some great or even just really good potatoes with your breakfast? Drop some restaurant names in the comments below and hopefully I can fulfill my quest for great breakfast potatoes!
