14 McDonald's Popular Items Ranked From Worst To Best

5. Hash Brown

The McDonald's hash brown is an absolute must-have when hitting the Golden Arches in the morning. With just eight ingredients, they've been on the menu since the 1970s and arrived just a few years after they introduced the fast-food masses to breakfast. Made from shredded potatoes, these hash brown patties are soft on the inside while being enveloped in a crispy, toasty exterior that is generously dosed with salt. Pro tip: Ask for buffalo sauce on the side and just wait to have your mind blown.
