To prepare, cook the hash brown patties from frozen. They can be pan-fried in a skillet with a little oil over medium heat until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Alternatively, they can be baked in an oven on a baking sheet at a moderate temperature until heated through and crisp. For even quicker preparation, they can sometimes be cooked in an air fryer. Ensure they are cooked thoroughly before serving.
