If you love McDonald’s breakfast, you’re going to want to listen up. A YouTube foodie from the channel known as Mashed shared a tip that could be changing the game forever with a video titled “The McDonald’s Hash Brown Hack You’ll Wish You Knew Sooner.” Fans of this crispy potato treat can have their world rocked by ordering it “well done.”
That’s right: for some extra-delicious crunch in your hash brown, all you need to do is add that special request to your order. You may be used to ordering burgers well done, but potatoes? Who knew?!
“Just ask for ‘well-done’ when you place your order and you’ll get a game-changing crispiness that you never knew you needed,” the YouTube video instructs, noting that this “clever hack” when allow you to “take your hash browns up a level” by “[taking advantage] of one of the big selling points for eating at McDonald’s, namely their industrial fryers.”
Of course it makes sense that McDonald's could easily kick things up a notch by frying the hash browns for a little bit longer—we can' t believe we've never thought of this before!
According to Mashed, this hack "used to be an industry secret," but now it's all out in the open; why not give it a try next time you pull up to the drive through for a tasty, quick breakfast? Additionally, this option is available if you're ordering at a self-service kiosk. Perfect! We can't wait to give it a shot.
