Ingredients in the Hash Brown
McDonald’s Hash Browns are made using simple, quality ingredients to give you that perfect crispy on the outside, soft on the inside experience. The main ingredient is potatoes, which provide the fluffy texture inside, while non-hydrogenated sunflower and rapeseed oils give a golden, crunchy exterior. A pinch of salt and black pepper extract adds just the right flavor, and maize flour, dehydrated potato, and dextrose help with crispiness and light browning. Stabilizers like diphosphates ensure the hash brown keeps its shape during cooking.
