What it is
These are pre-formed patties made from shredded potatoes and seasonings, designed for quick and easy preparation. They are typically found in the frozen section of grocery stores. The patties are crafted to offer a crispy exterior and a tender interior when cooked, making them a convenient breakfast or side dish option. Each patty is individually portioned for straightforward serving.

To prepare, these hashbrown patties can be cooked using various methods. Pan-frying in a skillet with a bit of oil over medium heat until golden brown and crispy on both sides is a common approach. They can also be baked in an oven or cooked in an air fryer for a less oily result. Ensure they are heated through completely before serving. They are ideal for busy mornings when a hot potato side is desired without the effort of shredding and forming from scratch.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to loose frozen shredded potatoes, these patties offer the convenience of pre-portioned, shaped servings. Unlike homemade hashbrowns, they require minimal preparation and cooking time. The binding agents used in their production can also affect their texture and how well they hold their shape during cooking.

How to keep the rest
