Dr. Praeger's recently debuted a new range of healthy hash browns that serve as a nutritious breakfast solution for children and adults alike. Packed with real veggies and flavorful spices, the gluten-free hash browns are a nutritious alternative to fast food versions.

The new vegetable-infused hash browns from Dr. Praeger's consist of Yukon Gold potatoes mixed with fresh vegetables and shaped into palm-sized patties. There are three vegetable-based varieties to choose from, including Sweet Potato, Root Veggie and Southwest. Although the patties are sold frozen, consumers can easily cook the hash browns in the microwave, oven or a skillet for a speedy breakfast solution.

With the growing demand for more nutritious frozen food options, these healthy hash browns provide consumers with a simple, guilt-free way to enjoy a popular breakfast dish.
