The interface has some weird sh..tuff. But, I suppose since I'm so used
to it I barely notice it anymore.

Some places they're called home fries, or cottage fries, or even hash
browns - probably because the potatoes in corned beef hash are small
cubes.

American fries (most places) are thin sliced and par-cooked before they
get fried. And a couple places around here call them home fries.

I don't cook a lot of stuff from raw in the microwave. But bacon and
baked potatoes (white or sweet) are just easier and quicker with less
clean-up.

I have made this novelty cake - twice.

      Title: Chile-Chocolate Microwave Mug Cake
 Categories: Cakes, Snacks, Chocolate, Chilies
      Yield: 1 Serving
 
      4 tb (45 g) self raising flour
      4 tb (55 g) caster sugar
      2 tb (17 g) cocoa powder
      1 lg Egg
      3 tb (43 ml) milk
      3 tb (25 ml) sunflower oil
      3 tb Chocolate chips
        sm Dash of vanilla extract
        lg Pinch of dried chile *
 
  * You could use ground chile powder or replace the choc
  chips with chile chocolate. You could also use more or
  less chile depending on your tastebuds.
  
  Add dry ingredients (including chile) to a large coffee
  mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly Add
  the milk and oil - mix well (don't forget the corners /
  edges of the mug). Add the chocolate chips (if using)
  and vanilla extract, and mix again Put your mug in the
  microwave and cook for 3 minutes (in an 800 watt
  microwave).
  
  The cake will rise above the top of the mug, but don't
  worry it's supposed to! Allow to cool a little, tip out
  onto a plate.
  
  EAT and enjoy - this can serve two - it's a huge portion
  for one!
