I won't go back until hash browns are 2 for $1.
Fuck outta here with this $2.00 hash brown bullshit.
You can get a pack of frozen hash browns for cheaper than that. Saves time, money, and tastier imo.
And crunchy af in the air fryer.
Takes forever though
10 min? Vs like 3-5 min in the drive through, but I can do other shit while the air fryer’s going.
Oh, I'm not advocating McDonalds breakfast, but I remember them taking like 20 minutes in the oven. I'm not a morning person, so I do not plan my breakfast 20 minutes ahead, lol.
Air fryer is not the oven.
I'm using the tools I have. 🤷
Air fryer cuts it in half.
Can I shit on air fryers for a second though.
How did everyone just accept this horrible example of marketing and branding nonsense? I literally had relatives explaining it to me like it was a magical new way of cooking just invented.
Its a fucking tiny convection oven.
It's marketing. They know Americans won't buy an oven, but we love frying things.
It really is fun listening to people tall about how it can fry things without oil, scientists finally cracked the code!
I love your use of windiness. I will concede that point purely because it made me laugh and it made sense at the same time.
I'll pushback on the preheat though, we just got a microwave air fryer combo (awesome saving space) and while it heats up super quick, still have to add a few minutes for preheat.
Kinda like the difference in boot time from HDD to NVMe.
Great analogy
That's when you throw it on the oven and then take a shower. Just gotta time it with what you normally do half awake in the morning.
people downvoting the shit out of you for speaking truth to Big Homemade Hasbrown
shit takes a minute guys, its ok that not every feature of a home made thing is superior to McDonalds
Yeah, I'm not sure why I struck such a nerve, lol. I just got frustrated because I'm not a morning person, and hashbrowns eggs and bacon take forever! And I can't get the timing lined up, since I'm half awake, so screw it. Bagel and coffee.
Air fryer for the win. Think of it like your microwave: pop the food in, set the timer or use a program, wait for DING! It’s not just faster than regular oven but no preheating and more automated so it’s easier
Takes about 10 minutes in mine, full power and flip once.

Forever ever?
Forever never seems that long till you're gone.
I do them on a tray in the oven and I don't even bother with flipping. They still come out great.
Thats the best thing about them, still great the lazy way.
If I'm feeling extra though, I'll brush some oil on it and salt it, maybe some other random seasonings.
I almost had them tasting like dunkin hashbrowns once, was very nice.
Forever? I think an extra 5 minutes is worth the wait for anything better than McDonald's.
Shout-out to Trader Joes' hash brown patties.
Wanna say they’re $2.79 where I’m at. I know for sure they were just under $3
Yep fuck that.
2 for $1.
And egg McMuffins and sausage muffins should be <$3.00.
And the sausage burritos should be 2 for $1.
McDonald's trying to act like they're a restaurant and not a fucking logistics company. The market rate of a potato doesn't affect the price of French fries at McDonald's when they legitimately own the rights to the only brand of potato that is used to make McDonald's French fries.
Any company that is known by all doesn't do what the average person thinks they do.
McDonalds? Logistics company
CocaCola? Logistics company
Ups? Logistics company
Starbucks? Logistics company
Miller/Coors? Logistics company
Shaw's? Logistics company
W.B mason? Logistics company
Exxon Mobile? Logistics company
Amazon? Logistics company
The price of sugar doesn't affect Coca-Cola. The price of wheat doesn't affect millercoors. The price of lumber doesn't affect wb mason. The price of gasoline doesn't affect ups. The price of coffee doesn't affect Starbucks. The price of beef, potatoes, and dairy doesn't affect McDonald's. The price of oil (barely) doesn't affect Exxon Mobile.
These are the fucks that pull the levers. Not the farmers. Not the lumberjacks. Not the oil refiners.
I keep hearing that McDonald's is actually a real estate company
That’s Sears.
McDonald’s certainly has enormous buying power. I do imagine widespread drought or something would impact their bottom line by some pennies if it were severe enough. Anyway, I read:
Don’t see that one online but other varieties appear popular.
Now, enjoy

$2.79, before taxes. Don't forget these are US companies. And any charges outside the US have likely already been taxed locally, before international tax was applied.
Don't ever assume the US gov is paying you fairly. Taxes are only an excuse for them to make even more money by manipulating the rules.
$2.50 Cones were my breaking point. The tourist trap general store next to me does a decent waffle cone for $4.
Jesus, I can't find a cone near me for less than $6.
It's worse here in Canada.
