About Chick-fil-a hashbrowns
Chick-Fil-A Hashbrowns are crispy, golden-brown potato medallions served as a breakfast side item at Chick-Fil-A restaurants. This food item is a popular convenience choice in American fast food cuisine. Each serving (about 84g) contains approximately 270 calories, 18g of fat, 23g of carbohydrates, 2g of protein, and negligible fiber. These hashbrowns are deep-fried in canola oil, which contributes to their crispy texture and flavor but also adds saturated fat. While they provide energy primarily from fats and carbohydrates, they are not a significant source of vitamins or minerals. They are, however, free of trans fats and cholesterol, per typical preparation.
Health Benefits
- Provides quick energy through its carbohydrate content (23g per serving), which the body metabolizes into glucose for fuel.
- Contains potassium from the potatoes, a critical mineral for muscle function and electrolyte balance.
- Free of trans fats, which aligns with recommendations to minimize trans fat consumption to support cardiovascular health.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Hashbrowns are best consumed fresh but can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
