11,001	daddit	I like the ALDI ones better than the McDonalds ones anyway. Plus my daughter eats 5 for breakfast. We’d go broke with McDonalds ones.
11,002	daddit	Epic. Well done dad!
11,003	daddit	Love it. Dad hacks.
11,004	daddit	Pro status acheived.
11,005	daddit	That is brilliant. I hope I can think of this kind of top-tier dad trick, when my daughter gets here.
11,006	daddit	Genius
11,007	daddit	Yep, that’s how you parent! We lie to prevent meltdowns.

11,015	daddit	Find a different way to day care.
11,016	daddit	Since when is a McDonalds hash brown expensive? Treat her to the best, not some Aldi knockoff!
11,017	daddit	This is one of those perfect examples though of the cost of time involved in making those at home and then preparing them exceeds just buying them at McD’s. The whole what’s your time worth thing…
11,018	daddit	r/nextfuckinglevel. Well done
11,019	daddit	#dadhack
11,020	daddit	are Aldi ones good? Trader Joes hash browns are the best I ever had. Toss them in the airfryer or like 6min soooo good. Great idea though! lol
11,021	daddit	Good fucking man!
11,022	daddit	Very heartwarming, after the first sentence I was half expecting [this John Mulaney bit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTf3gqDcaM0).
11,023	daddit	A+ highest quality dad solution right there.
11,024	daddit	Fucking genius
11,025	daddit	Good plan. Here they're like $1 a piece at McDonald's when you can get a few dozen for $4 at a store.
11,026	daddit	This guy dads
11,027	daddit	BRILLIANT! I need to start doing this for french fries!
11,028	daddit	Brilliant Dad!
11,029	daddit	At 1.89 a pop here in new England, you are damn right it's expensive, considering you can get a pack of them for almost the same price.
11,030	daddit	Dad hax
11,031	daddit	You are a monster...
11,032	daddit	Saw these today and thought,,, how would those taste on the griddle?. So, how do they taste?
11,033	daddit	Lol my daughter is also obsessed with macdonalds hash browns lol
11,034	daddit	I wish their hash browns didn’t taste like Freezer burn these days. Maybe just my local aldi.
11,035	daddit	Trader Joe’s sells frozen ones that are damn close to McD’s
11,036	daddit	I’m learning so much from this subreddit
11,037	daddit	This belongs on r/geniusdadprotips, if there is such a thing. If there's not, OP should start it.
11,038	daddit	You, good sir, are a genius.
11,039	daddit	Also if you don't have time, taco Bell had good hash browns for cheaper than McDonald's

11,046	daddit	I guess I’m making FU money now?
11,047	daddit	This guy Dad's.
11,048	daddit	This is the way!
11,049	daddit	This is what dads of legends are based on. Nice job!!
11,050	daddit	I only dropped in here to mention that my son’s official first word (as in, saying the word and associating to the correct item) is “hash brown”. He can’t quite pronounce it right, but it’s adorable.
11,051	daddit	Oh man I grew up on Aldi hash browns
11,052	daddit	That’s fucking brilliant! You sir win Dad of the year award right there.
11,053	daddit	Big brain.
11,054	daddit	Yes quick in air fryer.
11,055	daddit	Excellent !!
11,056	daddit	Tesco hash browns are much better than the Aldi ones, and only a little more. We tested both at the same time before settling on Tesco. This one time ONLY, Tesco is actually better.
11,057	daddit	We used to go to Starbucks every now and then and my daughter always wanted something (usually milk). We moved to a new place and the Starbucks was across the street, and I used to pop in occasionally to get morning coffees. I got into the habit of asking for an extra empty cup and straw, then would fill it with milk from my fridge when I got back home The little wins
11,058	daddit	My dad and I used to go get hash browns from Maccas too! They went up in price so we started doing tater tots from Sonic or Carl's Jr instead, but the thought was there.
11,059	daddit	That is Brilliant, I wonder if I can do that with Starbucks Cake pops. My Twin girls love those and cry every time they see a Starbucks (which of course they see everywhere, because they are EVERYWHERE.
11,060	daddit	Genius!
11,061	daddit	Genius!
11,062	daddit	the shit we fill our kids with
11,063	daddit	Guys, it’s obviously delivered straight to them by the Hash brown Fairy LOL
11,064	daddit	You mean a McMagic trick!
11,065	daddit	I just tell my kid that I can shop at the same store McDonald's shops at for certain things. Which means we can have it at home and faster! Every kid is different, but my youngest is happy with that explanation. For now. Shit, I shouldn't have typed that out loud.
11,066	daddit	OP please answer, super curious as well
11,067	daddit	Haven't you ever heard of a muffin button?? https://youtu.be/fWdKtAWdSXg
11,068	daddit	I'm rethinking my entire childhood now
11,069	daddit	I...I wasn't ready for this realisation
11,070	daddit	[Extremely relevant](https://youtu.be/AAx553k7W5s).
11,071	daddit	The Hash Brown Effect
11,072	daddit	Mine has a defrost mode. I run 1 cycle on defrost than a second in high and it comes out perfect. Couldn't tell you what the defrost mode actually does but it works.
11,073	daddit	Super under appreciated pro tip here
11,074	daddit	I use the Toaster oven on convection mode. Crispy and delicious. My daughter loves hash browns but so do I!
11,075	daddit	Air fryer are super fast and crisp these really well
11,076	daddit	I'm trying this tomorrow. I don't have time to preheat the oven and wait 18 minutes to cook these. I got to get that extra 4 minutes of sleep interrupted by an alarm every minute.
11,077	daddit	[deleted]
11,078	daddit	Yes and these hash browns are the bomb in an air fryer. My five year old asks for these instead of the Arches
11,079	daddit	Don’t tell me it is really called „Aldis“ and not by its real name ALDI.
11,080	daddit	On the 10th one was supposed to open near me. My partner went to scope it out, but they said they were having "technical issues" and may not be open for another month. So stoked to check it out because of comments like this.
11,081	daddit	Like half the price of Vons. Insanely good and cheap chocolate too. Great for stockings Love, love Aldi.
11,082	daddit	This. I would of said no to my son. Everyday? "We can't have hashbrowns everyday, maybe once a week or so." Compromise? I have an aunt who baby sits a kid, and he wanted eggs and sausage all day everyday only. Would throw a fits about it. Instead of communicating about it, she told him all stores don't sell eggs and sausage anymore.. at all.. nice, right..? Whatever works for you Edit: I'd like to add, this is a good hack. I do this too (make McDonald's) at home. I don't save the wrappers though and tell my son it's actually McDonald's.. just tell your kids.. stand up to them.. McDonald's sucks anyway. It's almost like we're setting them up to crave McDonald's instead of the grocery stores/home cooked meals
11,083	daddit	Amazing Dad hack but yeah the real pro tip is to teach your kids to avoid impulses like this. My kid wants Dunkin donuts every time we drive by one and because they are everywhere that's all the time. I think we stopped at one once on vacation and now it's a thing, which is fine but you don't have to indulge their every impulse.
11,084	daddit	[deleted]
11,085	daddit	It's also ok to find creative ways to make your kids happy. We have to be mean dad, or strict dad, or asshole dad way too much. This is such a little thing that makes them happy, I don't see the harm.
11,086	daddit	My GF had that about their nuggets until she tried them years later and was so disappointed.
11,087	daddit	This is the way
11,088	daddit	This guys got heart disease on the grain
11,089	daddit	$2.65 apiece my guy
11,090	daddit	$2 a day x5 a week x a month..it adds up.
11,091	daddit	Heh. These comments get downvoted to hell on Reddit. Sad America
11,092	daddit	Kroger’s are great, 10 for about 1.50
11,093	daddit	I doubt OP is deep frying them and dumping on nearly as much salt as McDonald's does.
11,094	daddit	Um... That's a problem
11,095	daddit	I mean they’re $2.60, plus about a 10 minute wait time so if you stop every morning for them you’re looking at about $60 a month and 3-4 hours of idling in line. The store bought ones are about 20 cents and I cook them while she’s getting ready.
11,096	daddit	123
11,097	daddit	Uh, he literally is saving time by not waiting in line every morning
11,098	daddit	Definitely the hash brown fairy. She’s only three so small details like cold hash browns that mysteriously appear in the car don’t phase her yet.
11,099	daddit	I need a hash brown fairy in my life.
11,100	daddit	Dammit i prefer northern but im sure they taste fine
