Doneness
Patties are uniformly golden-brown on both sides; the interior is steaming hot with a softened, tender shred texture that still holds together.
Oil & seasoning
Optional light spray on both sides — improves browning by about 30% but not required.
Season with: salt, black pepper, everything-bagel seasoning (after cooking).
Watch out for
- Do not thaw before cooking — frozen patties cook to a uniform interior. Thawed ones go soggy.
- Single layer only — stacked patties cook unevenly and the bottoms steam instead of crisping.
- Check the bag for pre-fried vs uncooked shredded — pre-fried patties (most major brands) follow this guide; uncooked shred adds about 4 minutes.
