How to Cook Frozen Hashbrowns in a Deep Fryer

If you have a package of frozen hash browns in the freezer, the best way to prepare them is in a deep fryer. By frying your potato patties, you will achieve the same golden brown color and crisp texture usually found at dinners and fast food restaurants. These hash browns can be served as a side dish with a bacon and eggs breakfast, alongside a stack of pancakes, or on their own with salt, pepper and ketchup as you would normally serve tater tots. Does this Spark an idea?
