McCain BabyCakes® FAQs

A:

McCain BabyCakes® are bite-sized, frozen hash browns that deliver airy frying & oven baking convenience with real potatoes to any meal of your liking. Their round shape makes them ideal for stacking, dipping in some signature sauces - like sriracha ketchup, garlic aioli, or beer cheese dip for added indulgence - or adding as a go-to appetizer to your main courses. These hash browns are also sure to become a favorite for any breakfast occasion to accompany scrambled eggs, sausage patties, crumbly bacon, or chicken and waffles. 

A:

Not exactly. While McCain BabyCakes® and hash browns are both made from potatoes, our BabyCakes® are shaped into small, rounded shapes with a rigid, crispy exterior that make them easy for munching, dipping, and loading with various toppings. Traditional frozen hash browns are usually shredded or patty-shaped and cannot always provide this versatility.
