I never order the hamburger (with cheese is just so much nicer), whilst I remember quite enjoying a McDonalds hash brown all that long ago. But then if there was no such thing as a cheeseburger, I'd definitely go for the hamburger. I'm a big fan of the buns and the relish, if not the meat itself (which can be dry and is pretty bland). On balance though, I'll go with the HASH BROWN.
