I work in McDonald’s and tried the new mini potato waffles to see what all the fuss is about – here’s what I thought

FAST food restaurant McDonald’s are rolling out new mini potato waffles in their breakfast menu. 

The mini potato waffles are about 200 calories and you get a portion of three crispy potato waffles for £1.39 on their own or as part of a meal.

The breakfast item was added to its menu for the first time ever last week alongside a couple of new burgers and a McFlurry.

Lauren Ruby and McDonald’s mini waffles to the test in her latest TikTok video online testing the waffles on her breakfast break. 

She said: “So we’re gonna try waffles with a salsa dip and no sausage in my breakfast roll.”

She continued: “And then a toffee latte cause I need to get some sugar.”

Gearing herself up for the first bite she said: “Okay moment of truth.”

Whilst tasting her first bite of the mini waffles viewers could hear a loud crunch. 

They sounded very crispy.

Lauren did a little giggle dance after which she said; “They’re like mini hash browns … I love em.”

Lauren continued eating her breakfast and said: “I really really like these mini waffly things”. 

So far fans have had very mixed responses to the new breakfast side.

It seems the new addition has sparked a rivalry with the staple hash browns as Lauren stated in her video. 

One user tweeted: “Not that anyone asked for my opinion but the new McDonald’s potato waffles are 100x better than the hash browns.”

If you’re looking to weigh in on the spud battle. 

The McDonald’s breakfast menu is available from 5am to 11am before it switches over to its standard menu.

So those are the hours to grab some mini potato waffles.
