Shredded potato is formed into small patties, then cooked until the outside turns golden and crisp. Sold frozen, these are the classic breakfast-side format, with a loose, grated potato centre rather than a smooth mash. Designed for oven or fryer cooking, you'll get the best contrast from a hot tray or plenty of oil, which helps the edges brown and shatter while the inside stays soft. Within the frozen potato range, they sit alongside chips, wedges, and rostis, but keep to the familiar shredded-potato shape that browns fast and stays light inside. They're a staple of a cooked breakfast, though they work just as well alongside eggs, beans, or grilled meats at any time of day.
