How to Make Frozen Hashbrown Patties

Homemade Hashbrown Patties

I always get my best ideas from you, my adorable readers. A few weeks ago, Camilla left a comment on my Homemade Hashbrowns post asking, “How would I do this if I wanted to make frozen patties?” I left a reply, telling her what I would suggest, then I promptly hollered at my boys to start scrubbing potatoes. What a fantastic idea – to make hashbrowns ahead of time in the shape of patties so that all we have to do is pull them out and fry them up!

25 consumed Hashbrown Patties and 72 frozen Hashbrown Patties later, here I am to share all the fun details with you! This idea is a great one – plus it’s easier than you would think. Don’t you love it when delicious, healthy, and easy all make it into the same sentence?

How to Make Frozen Hashbrown PattiesYum

1. Scrub and bake as many potatoes as you like. We fill a big roasting pot with scrubbed potatoes, cover, and bake for about an hour and a half.
2. Allow the potatoes to cool. You can even refrigerate overnight if you like.
3. Shred the cooled baked potatoes as if grating cheese.
4. Use a large cookie scoop or spoon to scoop out nice portions of shredded potatoes. Put the scoops directly into hot oil to fry OR –
5. Place the scoops of shredded potatoes onto a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet.
6. Freeze the mounds of shredded potatoes on the cookie sheets. Transfer them to a freezer bag once frozen solid.
7. Store frozen hashbrown patties in the freezer in freezer bags until ready to cook and serve.
8. To cook frozen hashbrown patties, heat palm shortening or coconut oil in a skillet or on a griddle. Do not thaw hashbrown patties. Put patties into the hot oil and fry for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown and as crispy as you like. Salt and serve!

    Do you know if I could bake these instead of frying them? I have 7 hungry big guys to feed them to and it would be so much easier to just bake them instead of having to fry them all :-) thank you for the great recipe!

      You could try, but I don’t feel that they would turn out as yummy. :) Since they are already baked, it only takes a short time to fry them, so that helps. :)

      Oh yeah! Someone told me about that once. I’ll have to play with that idea to see if it works. :)

    What temperature would you bake the potatoes at for an hour and a half?

    This is great! My guys love hash brown patties but I don’t like to buy them because of all the other ingredients in them. Do you flatten them out before putting in the freezer? Or do they flatten out more when frying them?

      I flatten them a little bit before freezing, but not much. They flatten as I fry them. :)

    Delicious, healthy, easy AND frugal: can’t beat that! Yummy.

    This will be a perfect co-op morning breakfast when we scramble to be out the door by eight. (We’re so NOT morning birds around our place!)

    This looks like and answer to some of my breakfast problems. I just have one question…why do you bake your potatoes in a covered pan instead of just on the racks of the oven?

    Just a little trick to share:

    You can bake potatoes in a crock pot as well. On low for about 8-10hrs, on high for half that approx. They seem to be even better than oven baked too! I wrap them individually with foil put the lid on and when I get home from work they’re done!
