How long can you keep thawed hash browns in the fridge?

Once hash browns are thawed, they should be cooked and consumed within 1-2 days for best quality and safety. It's important to store them properly in an airtight container or plastic bag to prevent spoilage and cross-contamination with other foods. If unsure about their freshness, it's best to err on the side of caution and discard them to avoid potential foodborne illness.
