What it is
These are pre-formed patties made from shredded potatoes, lightly seasoned and frozen for convenience. They are designed to be cooked quickly and offer a crispy texture. The potatoes are typically par-cooked before being shaped and frozen, which helps them cook evenly and achieve a golden-brown finish. This product is a popular choice for a quick breakfast or side dish.

To cook, you can pan-fry them in a little oil over medium-high heat until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Alternatively, they can be baked in a preheated oven until they reach your desired level of crispness. For an air fryer, cook them according to the appliance's instructions until they are golden and heated through. Ensure they are cooked thoroughly before serving.
