Hash browns are standard breakfast fare. But if you are looking for a crispy McDonald’s hash brown you don’t want a flat pancake like you would get in any old diner. And you are going to need to do a few extra steps to make sure they taste and look authentic.
Heat a pan with the oil, over a medium to high heat. Take small handfuls of your McDonald’s hash brown mixture, and in the palm of your hand make it into the desired shape.
Gently place each hash brown into the pan and turn the heat down to medium. Cook on each side for 5-8 minutes until the hash brown is cooked through and golden brown on each side.
The key to getting crispy hash browns is all in the preparation stage. By heating the oil and then turning it down you ensure that the outside is seared. Our recipe will make 2-3 delicious McDonald’s hash browns; however, you can easily make more.
