Shredded potato is pressed into flat patties and frozen for cooking from the freezer. Usually pan-fried or baked, they come out with a browned outside and a softer potato centre. Compared with mash or chips in the same frozen range, this one leans on simple texture rather than added seasoning or filling. Often served alongside eggs, smoked fish, or sausages, it's a plain potato side built from just shredded potato, shaped into rounds and frozen ready to heat. Pan-frying in a little butter or oil gives the best results, creating a properly golden crust that holds together when you flip it. The inside stays tender and starchy, giving you that contrast between crisp edges and a soft, slightly creamy centre that makes the format work.
