Never heard of it before today. It looks like it means putting scrapes of lemons, limes. or oranges into food to give it some zest. Would I use it on hashbrowns? Where else could I use it? Soups maybe? On vegetables?

While you can zest bybhand...it's time consuming - best to buy the right tool. Zesters are cheap.
Ah....as to what you would use citrus zest in....well....not hash browns. If the recipe calls for it...use it. Some fish dishes, veggies, desserts (probably not with most chocolate ones)...anything that a mild citrus taste would work.
Zesting is when you take a citrus zester and zest the outer layer of an orange, lime or lemon. You do not want the white part (pith). Most of the time Citrus zest is used in desserts but can be used in main dishes as well or to make a simple syrup for lemonade or Iced tea.
I hope we all clean/wash our citrus before zesting,,,,,lots of bacteria on the fruits
