Wow — we can officially die happy. FoodBeast’s Peter Pham just enlightened us with a McDonald’s breakfast hack that crisped up our soggy hearts. Just when we thought our Mickey D’s breakfast couldn’t get much better, Pham recommended we order our hash browns “well done.”
Pham, who worked at McDonald’s during his college years, said that he used to whip himself up a couple of “extra crispy hash browns” during his break. “Like all well-done starches,” Pham wrote via FoodBeast, “all you would have to do is leave the shredded potato patties in the hot oil a few minutes past the wail of the fryer.”
The result? Hash browns so crispy their crunch’s magnitude can actually be measured on the Richter Scale.
And although Pham thought he was harboring one of McDonald’s best-kept secrets, it turns out others have known about the “well-done hash brown” request for some time now. The same request can be made of McDonald’s french fries as well.
The benefits of ordering your hash browns well-done are obvious — they’re crispier, have a more satisfying crunch factor, and stay crispier for longer, which is vital for commuters who practice restraint. We can’t let our hash browns sit untouched for more than a few seconds.
Now that our lives are forever changed, it’s up to us to spread the good word to other hash brown worshippers like those below.

Never feel ashamed of the amount of hash browns you order. Never.
