Might be the 2nd worst fast food cut in history, only behind the elimination of the chili cheese burrito at Taco Bell (although I guess that is available in limited locations)
Nope, wasn’t me! Must’ve been someone else, as I swear I never worked drive through while employed at Arby’s.Arby's Worker: We are out of roast beef.
Me: Say what?
Arby's Worker: We are out of roast beef. I'm sorry about that. Would you like anything else?
Me: Aren't you a roast beef fast food restaurant?
Arby's Worker: Yes, but we are out of it today.

Haven't seen chili cheese burritos since college probably. So damn good.Might be the 2nd worst fast food cut in history, only behind the elimination of the chili cheese burrito at Taco Bell (although I guess that is available in limited locations)
On a related note, my wife and youngest daughter still complain about a time several years ago that they went to a local Dunkin' Donuts in the middle of the afternoon and they were somehow out of donuts.Arby's Worker: We are out of roast beef. I'm sorry about that. Would you like anything else?

So that's why they're just called Dunkin now?Dr_Zaius said:On a related note, my wife and youngest daughter still complain about a time several years ago that they went to a local Dunkin' Donuts in the middle of the afternoon and they were somehow out of donuts.

How did you eat them? Pour something on them?

MMMM empanadas!!!Many many years ago McDonald’s got rid of the breakfast danishes and I never forgave them.
Also miss the caramel apple empanadas from Taco Bell.
As far as potato cakes from Arby’s.. never heard of them.
Those wraps were very good, I forgot about them.MMMM empanadas!!!
I loved when you ordered them, our Taco Bell was always like "We have to see if there are any cooked." It was like winning the lottery when you got them.
I miss the chicken snack wraps that both McD and Wendys used to have.
Those Crinkle Fries are currently the best fast food fries available. Damn Good.My wife was crushed the day we went through the Arby's drive thru and discovered this several months ago. Just makes no sense and they act like adding Crinkle Fries makes us forget. #Neverforgetthecakes..

So, a hash brown? Just go to McDonalds and get one.
Huh. I have never seen them. They look good.this - it's like a giant tater tot ...only much better
for me ...I dip it both Arby's sauce and Horsey sauce - not ketchup.
One of my favorite things about holiday meals when I was a kid was the next day, because my mom would make potato cakes out of the leftover mashed potatoes. They didn't look like what's in your link, though (agree with ChiefD that I would call that a hash brown) - mom's were caked up like hamburger patties with some egg & onion. She'd flour the outside a bit, then fry those ####ers in lard.this - it's like a giant tater tot ...only much better

Oh. I'd call that a hash brown. I was thinking it was something more like a pancake but made of potatoes.this - it's like a giant tater tot ...only much better

Worst Taco Bell cut for me was their 7-Layer Burrito, last year I think.The worst fast food cut is Taco Bell’s Mexican Pizza. I’m still mourning it and Taco Bell is dead to me until it returns.
I'm gonna have to try this. I've experimented with frying up leftover mashed potatoes just to try something new and can't quite get it right.One of my favorite things about holiday meals when I was a kid was the next day, because my mom would make potato cakes out of the leftover mashed potatoes.

I've never been able to get them as right as my mother. Getting the right binding is the key, but - with me - it varies based since I'm so inconsistent with my mashed potatoes.I'm gonna have to try this.

These are easier than the cakes I described above because they are thinner.Oh. I'd call that a hash brown. I was thinking it was something more like a pancake but made of potatoes.
My grandfather did this for years with leftover mashed potatoes. I’ve never been able to re-create them either.I'm gonna have to try this. I've experimented with frying up leftover mashed potatoes just to try something new and can't quite get it right.
Any idea how much lard/oil she puts in the pan? Does the oil come halfway up the pancake or are they completely immersed (basically deep fried)?I've never been able to get them as right as my mother.

No, not deep fried. But I don't know how lard/bacon grease much she used. I use a skillet and coat the bottom with all seasoning "lard". I tried oil once, and it wasn't good. I can get the outside to crisp up well, but - as I said - sometimes I make the potato too wet and don't use a proper amount of binding because it changes every time. If you're more patient than I (it would be hard NOT to be) and are willing to experiment a little, you could probably nail it on your first or second try.Any idea how much lard/oil she puts in the pan?

Mexican Pizza from Taco Bell is the worst cut of all time.Might be the 2nd worst fast food cut in history, only behind the elimination of the chili cheese burrito at Taco Bell (although I guess that is available in limited locations)

I share Binky's appreciation for absolute best thing on Arby's menu!
Those were deliciousI loved these triangular mega hash browns. Bummer.
ETA: Buddy and I stepped out for lunch to KFC a long time ago and were informed at the drive thru that they were out of chicken.
Triangular shaped potatoes. Sounds like something brought back from the future.I loved these triangular mega hash browns. Bummer.
