Do not overfill the frying basket. Fill the basket halfway. Preferably cook one hashbrown at a time or fill the basket preferably in 1 layer.

Fill and shake the basket on the side of the fryer to prevent the remains of the crumbs and ice from falling directly into the hot oil.

Reduce the cooking time when frying smaller quantities of hashbrowns.
