McDonald’s Hash Brown Price in UK [2026 Updated]

McDonald’s Hash Brown price in the UK is £2.39, and each crispy golden portion contains just 127 kcal. It’s also approved by the Vegetarian Society as 100% vegan, making it an easy breakfast side if you don’t fancy a sausage or egg muffin. For that price, I reckon it’s one of the better little extras on the breakfast menu.

I rate the McDonald’s Hash Brown 9.5/10. The shredded potato forms a deep-golden, crispy shell with a soft, hot centre underneath. It’s flaky, slightly greasy and properly crunchy, but here’s my tip: eat it immediately. Leave it trapped in the paper bag and the steam quickly ruins that brittle crunch. I usually open the bag and eat mine right there in the car park before even starting the engine.

If you’re buying for more than one person, there’s also the Mini Hash Browns Sharebox® for £3.89, containing 15 vegan mini hash browns (316 kcal) designed to share among three people. Below, I’ve covered the McDonald’s Hash Brown price, calories, ingredients, nutritional information and allergen details to help you check what you’re ordering.

Allergen Information & Dietary Status

McDonald’s Hash Browns are 100% vegan and approved by the Vegetarian Society. The recipe contains no nut or peanut ingredients, which is useful information when checking the ingredient list.

Allergy warning: McDonald’s kitchens use shared equipment, and Hash Browns are cooked in the same oil as the Red Pepper and Pesto Goujon. The restaurant handles multiple allergens, so even when staff remove ingredients on request, they can’t guarantee an entirely allergen-free meal. If you have a severe allergy, bear this cross-contact risk in mind before ordering.
