In what can only be described as a true stroke of culinary genius, Iceland has just launched hash browns the size of a plate.
And fans are already absolutely obsessed with them.
Hash browns are an integral part of British cuisine at this point, right? Those little crispy potato creations prove time and time again to be an ideal snack for anyone who finds themselves a bit reliant on fried food to get through a hangover from hell, or merely just to wake up on a lazy Sunday morning.
You may remember a couple of years back that Icleand started selling Heinz’s two new hash brown creations, hash browns filled with Heinz Baked Beanz and hash browns filled with tomato ketchup, at its supermarkets across the UK, and it’s safe to say they’ve been going down a treat ever since, so we can only imagine these new plate-sized variations will be just as well-received.
If the hundreds of comments from hungry shoppers are anything to go by already, it looks like we’re right too.

Instead of being the little triangular or oval-shaped side accompaniments we’ve come to expect from a regular hash brown, Iceland’s Plate Sized Hash Browns are exactly what they say on the tin – hash browns the size of the plate you’ll probably need to serve them on.
Described as being “ridiculously crispy”, these new plate-sized hash browns come in boxes of two, and are suitable for cooking from frozen in either the oven, a pan, or the air fryer.

The best bit? It’ll only set you back £2 for a box, so you won’t need to break the bank either.
Reviews from foodies who’ve already been able to head on down to their nearest Iceland and get their hands on the new potato creation seem to be glowing already, with one fan summing the experience up simply by writing on Iceland’s official Instagram post introducing the new creation that they’re “the stuff of dreams”.
Others have been taking to the comments to share their thoughts and tips on how best to serve them, or give ideas on quirky ways to incorporate them into meals.

“Wrap it in a Yorkshire pudding and you’re sorted,” one person wrote, while another added: “Fill it with the rest of a full breakfast,” and a third commented: “Two of these with crispy smoked bacon sandwiched between. Absolutely delicious”.
Other fans chipped in with suggestions like: “Yummy with bacon, beans, sausage, egg, and brown sauce all on top”, and “I see a hash brown pizza creation in the future.”
The Iceland Plate-Sized Hash Browns are now available across the UK for £2, and you can find the opening times of your local Iceland here.

A popular Manc streetwear brand is hosting a big festival to mark their fifth birthday
Danny Jones
Popular Manchester streetwear and footwear brand, CLINTS Inc., is hosting its first-ever festival to mark five whole years in fashion – and it’s going to be big.
The highly sought-after clothing and sneaker make started out from a bedroom in Moston and is now a premium label in British urban, skating, UK grime and hip-hop culture, having been worn by many famous names and welcoming even more through the door of their Deansgate shop.
Located in the ABC Buildings on Quay Street next to Spinningfields, the flagship CLINTS store opened back in 2022 and is much more than a place to buy some new drip: it’s a place that showcases art, music, and a whole sub-sect of shopping beyond just skate silhouettes and trendy trainers.
As hack as it might sound to some, wearing this brand comes along with immersing yourself in the wider style and scene; the very same scene being celebrated in tandem with their fifth birthday.
Not to tease you more than the company already has, but as you can see, details are scarce.
There is no lineup or even location for this festival… only a date.
CLINTS Fest (the inaugural one, at that) will take place on Saturday, 6 September – presumably at or around the 21-23 Quay Street site, but who knows?
Fans of the brand can sign up for the mailing list for the latest details, and pre-sale tickets are also available now, with a couple of clicks on the website revealing that the event is set to start at 12 noon and wrap up around 10:30pm.

While you can expect the festival to be packed to the rafters with die-hard followers of all things CLINTS and streetwear, they’re not the only local indie holding a special one-off this month.
In fact, this weekend, a fellow trainer specialist who is still just starting out life in the fashion game but is already making waves reminiscent of their contemporaries.
Here’s hoping this is just the beginning of the journey and they’re the next Manc brand to become a national success story.

Alex Sanderson summons Rudyard Kipling as Sale Sharks scrape into the semi-finals
Danny Jones
Director of Rugby Alex Sanderson referenced the famous Rudyard Kipling after Sale Sharks managed to book their place in the playoffs of this year’s Gallagher Premiership following a nail-biter of a fixture against Exeter Chiefs.
The Sharks sealed their spot in the semi-finals with a 30-26 win over the Chiefs on Saturday night, with a trio of tries, a singular pen and calmness when it came to conversions proving just enough to make it to full time.
Speaking on the narrow score at Sandy Park, Sanderson himself applauded that same composure during his post-match duties, casually quoting Kipling ahead of the next big game.
Writing on social media after nerves had just about settled, the club simply said: “Apologies for raising the heart rate, Sharks Family… but Saturday we go again.”
Beginning with an expression of that same defiant spirit that has seen them across the line on so many occasions, the 45-year-old told TNT Sports, “We got another Monday in us.”
The Sale Sharks coach went on to add: “So if you can keep your head, when everybody else is losing theirs – I think that’s the old Rudyard Kipling poem – you’re in such a better place on the back of that, knowing what we can fix from the Leicester game and what we can do better from today.”
It’s not every day you hear sportsmen calling up the poetic words of the beloved British-India writer, but it certainly impressed plenty of supporters, though Sanderson has always been popular among fans for his candour and charisma in interviews.
Ultimately, it was Rekeiti Ma’asi-White, Bevan Rodd, Luke Cowan-Dickie and George Ford that the Greater Manchester outfit had to thank for the electrifying finish
You can see how much it meant, clear as day…
Not done yet…
Thank you for your support Sharks Family, it’s truly appreciated!
Sale Sharks will now take on Leicester Tigers (who the local side finished just behind in third place following the result against the Chiefs) in the Premiership semis as they look to get revenge for previous painful meetings
Are you feeling hopeful, Sharks Family?
