There’s one McDonald’s item quietly winning hearts—and it’s not a burger or fries. Fans say the humble hash brown is the best thing on the entire menu, even calling it “fast food perfection.”
It might not be the first thing you think of when ordering, especially if you stick to lunchtime classics like Big Macs and McNuggets. But regulars are urging others to give this breakfast-only item a try before 11am.
Crispy, golden, and packed with flavour, McDonald’s hash browns are made from a mix of potato and onion, wrapped in a crunchy outer layer that fans say delivers a perfect blend of crisp and soft. At £2.29 each, they’re not cheap—but fans say the taste is worth it.
On Reddit, one user said they’d buy them by the box if they could. “I wish they sold boxes of them like McNuggets,” one wrote. Another called them “pretty close to fast food perfection.”
The only catch? They’re only available during breakfast hours. Once 11am hits, they’re off the menu—leaving fans wondering why McDonald’s doesn’t serve them all day.
Some do point out the cost, especially when compared to supermarket frozen options. Still, if you’re standing in the breakfast queue at McDonald’s, fans say it’s worth swapping your usual fries for a hash brown—just to see what all the fuss is about.
