To prepare, you can cook these hash brown patties in a skillet, oven, or air fryer.

In the oven, spread them on a baking sheet and bake according to package directions. An air fryer offers a quick method, usually requiring a few minutes at a moderate temperature. Ensure they are cooked until they reach your desired level of crispness.

Compared to loose shredded potatoes for hash browns, these patties are pre-portioned and hold their shape during cooking. This makes them easier to handle and serve. They often have a more uniform crispness across the surface due to their pressed form.
