/ck/ - Food & Cooking

just go to a grocery store and buy the same ones they use

>>16515605
why buy them from Maccas for $2 each when you can buy 1kg of the cunts from the frozen section of your supermarket for $6?

>>16515605
Science.

all hash browns are good but McDonalds ones are exceptional

>>16515611
I've bought several hashbrown patties from a variety of stores, none of them hold a candle to mcdonald's hashbrown

>>16515605
The problem is, they're so much better than all the other breakfast items

>>16515636
>>16516413
I'm sure McDonald's does something slightly differently, but being deep fried makes a big difference in texture so if you're just baking or only using enough oil to coat the pan you're cooking them in they won't seem as good.

>>16515605
salt & oil

>>16515615
no, it's food, you fuckin retard

Kwikstar hasbrown sticks are the bomb, like a giant tatertot

>>16515605
it's potato
it's fried
simple as

Are 'hash browns' the same as rösti?

>>16516413
This, the frozen store bought ones kinda suck. I have had good ones before, but not recently. For sure, the Great Value brand from Walmart is trash.
I aint visiting fucking McDonald's for hash browns, whats a good frozen store brand? Is Ore-Ida the gold standard, or can someone else do it better?

because it's crispy salty starch, simple as

>>16515615
This.

>>16515605
Chick Fil A hashbrowns are better

>>16515605
they use beef flavoring when making them

These I put ketchup on.

>>16516603
oh god no

>>16516763
>t. braindead tastelet

>>16516768
they're not even fucking close
pipe up again like this and just watch what happens

>>16516603
PDQ is Chick-fil-A but better, it's one of the few things I miss about Florida alongside petite Latinas in bikinis and Cigar City Brewing.

>>16515605
What about homemade?

They're terrible. They taste like straight canola oil.

>>16516786
see
>>16516768

>>16516795
I exclusively fuck with Latinas. Colombianas especially.

>>16515605
why eat these? Because it's the best food in the world.

Maybe the trick is their deep fry oil, anyone know where I can find their supplier?

AIRFRYER + a bit of beef fat + touch of bacon dripping + frozen hashbrown with a shake of salt

FUCKING TREMENDOUS

>>16515605
Let me guess, you never had that much in your life to even compare it to?

>>16516491
Kind of yeah but in the case of OP and Mcdonalds they're diced up really small and then mushed together into a patty. Most hashbrowns aren't formed into a patty if they're just grated potatoes, but they'll inevitably stick together a little when you fry them.

>>16516499
just drop the frozen ones in a little deep fryer at home and wall-a!

>>16515605
starch + fat +salt

Simplicity is king.

I never liked hash browns to start with. I like every potato product. But hash browns taste like plastic to me.

you should have tried them when McDonald's still used beef tallow

>>16515605
I think its because they dont salt them so you cant taste the quality of the potatoes which are always that like toothpaste gel texture but still so fucking good

>>16516491
more or less but if you get them at a restaurant they'll be more loosely packed than a rosti

>>16515615
>>16516550

>>16515635

I'm going to assume that the taste / good crispness has to do with the hashbrowns being fried twice. Mcdonalds lightly fries their fries at a facility, freezes said fries, then ships them to Mcdonalds restaurants woldwide, where they are fried once more when ordered, making them crispy and not have that limp dick fry syndrome going on.

Since hashbrowns are pretty much just diced potatoes, why wouldn't they just apply the same process with them?

Why is the reddit soijak more appealing and representative of opinions than the soijaks that aren't redditors?

Welcome to /ck/

Because it's just a big fucking tater tot and tater tots are based.

How the fuck are people able to get this much satisfaction from simple things? I had to willfully take up smoking and became an alcoholic just so I could have an itch to scratch and have something to look forward to every day.

but they're not?

>>16515605
chemicals

>>16515605
This shit slaps.

>McDonalds hashbrowns are better!
Clearly, you don't own an air fryer.

I live in the US and people here genuinely think that avocado in sushi is delicious and some sort of hidden japanese delicacy. People here are really fucking nuts about japanese food but can never remotely cook anything like it. There are loads upon loads of "sushi" restaurants here but when you go in it's always some weird fucking asian "fusion" ripoff where they fuck up all of the dishes by adding shit like avocado and spicy mayo and shit to it and then they try to fucking play it off as "real japanese food". It doesn't help that people here don't know what normal nigiri or temaki is. It's all fucking gross. I have not had any normal-tasting sushi in all the time I've lived here, and good temaki is about as rare as a polite US police officer. These people are born here, they will live their whole lives here, and they will die in this shit country without ever tasting real ebi gunkan or kujira in their life and that's just sort of sad. The worst part is that because no american person actually knows what real japanese food is like, nobody can call restaurants out on this bullshit, everyone eats it all up and calls it "sooo umaiiiii nom nom nom" and everyone thinks this is what real japanese food is like. It's just sad. "Oh let's add mayo, sriracha and avocado to temaki don't u kno this is how they eat in tokyo!". The worst part for me is that the US doesn't just massacre classic japanese food like this, but they also do it with every other country's cuisine imaginable. korean, chinese, viet, thai, you name it. They botch everything they come across as "wow diverse so cool" but it's never apparently fucking good enough unless they douse it in sriracha and avocado to make it "authentic asian" food. Don't get me wrong I love me some american food but fuck this country for ruining foreign food culture and fuck the people for being too retarded to not know what real food is like, even though they kind of can't help it, fuck em it's gross

>>16516499
Aldi sells one that comes out really good if you oil-fry it.
>>16515605
cheap potatoes, deep fried.

>>16516603
lol no they're not.

It's brain chemistry and depression. Most people are depressed but don't realize it. Few people have loving parents and a good family.

>>16521168
This pasta is delicious.

>>16515605

You just have shit taste.

McDonald’s uses proprietary hashbrowns, dumbass. To put it in a way you’ll understand: Grocery store not sell hashbrown from McDonald. Only can get McDonald hashbrown from McDonald.

>mcd's got rid of the all day breakfast menu
>can no longer upgrade my big macs with a hash brown patty
