But do remember that prices do vary from restaurant to restaurant so make sure you double check before you pay.
It is not yet clear if the hashbrowns will become a permanent menu item, so if you want to give them a go you might want to be quick.
Back in 2022, the home of the Big Mac added mini potato waffles to its breakfast offering.
While they were a big hit with fans, with many saying they were better than hashbrowns, they weren't around for long.

The mini hashbrowns will be joining a whole host of other breakfast items including the iconic McMuffins and Cheesy Bacon Flatbreads.
Fans of the fast food chain will know that it usually updates its regular menu, which is served from 11am daily, every six weeks or so.

Other changes to the McDonald's menu
News of a new menu item comes just one week after Maccies teased the return of its McRib.
A test notification for the boneless pork burger was sent out on the McDonald's rewards app, sending customers into a frenzy.
When asked if the McRib is coming back, a spokesperson said: "McDonald’s is always looking to innovate with new and exciting menu items, as well as bringing back the fan favourites.
"If you’re keen to be the first to receive more info from McDonald’s stay tuned."
The McRib was first added to the main UK McDonald's menu in 1981 but was taken off just four years later.
The burger, which comes with a boneless pork patty covered in barbecue sauce and topped with onions and pickles, has made temporary reappearances since.
