Kumara Hash Browns product reviews

Our family are big fans of Kumara Hash Browns. I figure they're probably not super healthy (what hash browns are), but we bake them in the oven and they don't come out greasy.

Kumara has a sweeter taste than potato and seems to appeal to our boys. Not too spicy (unlike one of their other kumara rosti products) but still very tasty.

They're pretty quick to cook (maybe 10-15mins baking) and even quicker when you pan fry them. And a decent size so a reasonable fill of carbohydrates for a meal.

And the adults like them too (though personally I do prefer them fried rather than baked as they get slightly crispier and more golden brown)

My kids and i love Kumara. I found these hash browns were very tasty indeed!!! My hubby cooked them on the Barbie and mmmmmmmmm is all i can say!!
What attracted me to th eproduct was the packaging i guess. I was looking for something different and these jumped out and said buy me. I did and was not disappointed!

I love Kumera in any form and these are no exception in fact I have found one of my new favourite ways of having Kumera other than a good old fashioned roast.

When I first bit into one of these delightful offerings I knew I was in for a real treat and I was not wrong, these are some of the best tasting Hash Browns I have ever eaten and I will be buying lots more of these that's for sure.

I have had these both as part of a meal and as a snack with a couple of different sauces. Personally I preferred them with the sauces. They are easy enough to prepare, either whack them under the grill or slap 'em in the frying pan. Either way they come out golden brown and ready for any snack situation.

Now, although I'm not a great fan of kumara, the consistency of the hash browns was such that I didn't feel like I was really eating kumara, and the taste can be masked easily for fussy kids or adults who don't like eating 'yucky vegies'.

The price is a little steep for the product, but if you are able to catch a Managers' special at the supermarket I would suggest you add them to your freezer.

When you go to a certain fast-food chain which shall remain McNameless, you can hand over a dollar for one of their hash browns... a small, greasy, bland pulp of potato cooked by some unknown method (not sure if they are steamed or grilled)...

OR...

You could save up your pennies and buy a box of these from your nearest quality supermarket and cook 'em up yourself. Almost twice the size, for the same price, and cooked the way YOU want them. Plus, being kumara, they are packed with healthy nutrition and antioxidants.

With 6 in a box, you can serve 3-6 people with ease. I decided to try mine out with a home-made savoury mince pie and brussel sprouts poached in garlic butter, and some wedged tomatoes on the side. The hash browns proved to be a tasty vege serving on it's own, and also as a base for the mince to sit upon.

Overall, a far better option... if you like the run-of-the-mill hash browns, you are going to LOVE these. Sure, they cost a little more than a bag of potatoe h/b's, but isn't quality worth that little bit extra anyway?

Thought these were a nice change from the standard potato hash browns. They make a really lovely side dish, and in fact we had these instead of mashed potatoes as part of the family meal.
Well worth a try, and much healthier than their potato counterparts!
