Heres what a food editor thinks.

When I shop at Trader Joe’s, there arecertain items I buy again and again.
Or the time after that.
So, why was it challenging to get a box of these hashbrowns?
Once an item is sold out, that’s it until it gets restocked.
Unfortunately, my timing was off, which is why I kept finding an empty display case.
But on the day that I snagged a box?
I got to the store just one hour after the supply truck made its delivery.
So, after all that time and effort, are Trader Joe’s Hashbrowns worth it?
Honestly, noI think they’re just OK.
The biggest letdown for me is the texture.
But I’m not writing them off just yet.
Next time, I’ll try pan-frying and hope for a better result.
But after I run out of these patties, will I pick up another box?
Maybe, if it’s in stock, but I won’t go out of my way again.
Instead, I’ll try making my own with our Air-Fryer Hash Browns recipe.
