Roundy's Potato Crowns Shaped Shredded Potatoes
What it is
These are frozen potato pieces that have been shredded and then formed into a crown shape. They are made from potatoes and are designed for easy cooking. The shredding process creates a texture that can become crispy when prepared. The unique shape is intended to make them a fun addition to meals.
How people cook with it
These potato crowns are a convenient way to add a potato side dish to many meals. They are versatile and can be prepared in different ways depending on your preference.
- Crispy baked side dish
- Added to breakfast plates
- Topped with cheese and bacon
- Served with burgers
To prepare, spread the frozen potato crowns in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven according to package directions, typically around 400 to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Turn them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and crispiness. They can also be cooked in an air fryer for a faster, crispier result. Watch them closely to avoid burning.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike whole potatoes or potato wedges, these are pre-shredded and shaped. This means they cook faster and offer a different texture. The shredded interior becomes tender while the exterior can achieve a satisfying crispness, which is different from the denser texture of a whole baked potato.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick and easy potato side dish will find these useful.
How to keep the rest
Keep the bag of potato crowns in the freezer. Ensure the bag is sealed tightly after each use to prevent freezer burn. Store them at 0 degrees Fahrenheit or below to maintain their quality and texture until ready for cooking.
