To prepare, heat a skillet with a bit of oil or butter over medium-high heat. Add the frozen hash browns in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding the pan. Cook for several minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. You can season them with salt, pepper, or other spices while they cook. For a less hands-on approach, spread them on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven until desired crispness is achieved. They can also be incorporated into other dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to diced hash browns, shredded potatoes offer a different texture. The finer shreds create more surface area, leading to a crispier result. They also tend to cook faster than larger pieces of potato.
