It would be an understatement to articulate that devotees of McDonald's have a profound affection for the franchise's Hash Browns. Some individuals claim it ranks among the best offerings on the entire McDonald's menu, while others attest they even surpass the authenticity of chain's well-known French fries. An insider from McDonald's unveiled that a superior version of this popular breakfast accompaniment could indeed exist, yet is not adopted in order to preserve time.
Mike Haracz, former corporate chef for McDonald's turned TikToker, brought up in a recent discussion about a prevalent hack for Hash Browns served at Mcdonald's which became viral on social media platforms in past years. To obtain crispier preparation of their hash browns, customers simply need to request them ‘well done'.
Haracaz enthusiastically stated that these well-done hashbrowns are far better than what we usually see and urged patrons to go forth with this hack themselves. So why does McDonald's abstain from serving such notable standards? It all comes down according to Haracz is due to fast food industry model.
He highlighted how most quick-service restaurants aim towards consuming maximum clientele within minimum span creating rapidity as compromise over quality which comes inclusive with no exception under tagline "McDonald's". Thus prioritizing speed over flavor creation.
"If you have had any previous association rendering service at our dedicated station for preparing Hash Brown at any of our outlets, you would be acutely aware that sometimes work gets accumulated quite substantially. In such case to save time and provide faster service, a good remedial measure would be reducing the usual required cooking span for Hash Brown preparation; although there might be marginal degradation effect on encompassing factors like appearance, flavor or texture."
McDonald's also has an understanding their hashbrowns will still entice customers even if it isn't cooked at max potential, he infers.
"Though some concerns may arise but those can be overlooked as it tends to serve larger audience during breakfast hours rather catering specifically only well-done orders."
In order to make them a norm Haracz urged followers that they should persist with ordering itself while not presenting any concrete conviction whether well done approximate method could ultimately become mainstream.
Haracz continues sharing intriguing insights about McDonald's chain where recently in past July he disclosed his innovative idea concept which involved preparing sandwich for breakfast using Hash Browns as buns instead of English muffins or McGriddle cakes. Eventfully McDonald's declined this proposal because "it carries larger calories , operationally complex and too many people might end up ordering.”
