In appearance , vegan hash browns do not differ from conventional croquettes , in their shape and golden texture. In addition, its flavor is also very similar due to its potato base, and even better, especially because its filling has vegetable cream.

As fillings, this recipe includes vegetable cheese, although it is compatible with other options, such as vegan ham, peas or mushrooms. The quantities are modified to taste, since the base is only potatoes, and 500 grams of potatoes are recommended for 4 people.
