What it is

To cook Hannaford Hashbrowns, you can pan-fry them in a skillet with a bit of oil over medium-high heat.

They tend to have a more uniform texture than homemade shredded potatoes, which can sometimes be too wet or too dry. Their frozen state ensures they are ready to go from the freezer to the pan.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused hashbrowns in the original packaging or an airtight container in the freezer. Ensure they remain frozen until ready for use to maintain their quality and prevent freezer burn. Proper storage helps keep them from becoming icy.
