About Mini hash brown

Mini hash browns are bite-sized potato patties commonly prepared by shredding and frying potatoes. Originating from European cuisine, hash browns became a popular breakfast staple in the United States during the early 20th century. These crispy treats typically consist of potatoes, oil, and seasonings, with variations including onion or herbs. Potatoes, the main ingredient, are a rich source of carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and potassium, making them a good provider of energy. However, the nutritional profile can vary depending on the cooking method and added ingredients, with frying increasing fat content significantly.
