This ALDI breakfast find has returned—and fans say it tastes just like Chick-fil-A

Sometimes the best fast food isn’t in a drive-thru at all.

Savvy shoppers know that some of the most satisfying meals start in the freezer aisle.

And one ALDI find is back, earning comparisons to a beloved Chick-fil-A morning staple.

Just be warned—you’ll have to be quick if you want to score a bag.



ALDI has restocked its Season’s Choice Crispy Potato Circles, a cult-favorite freezer item that fans say is an “exact dupe” of Chick-fil-A’s hashbrowns.

These bite-sized rounds are made of seasoned shredded potatoes, pressed into thin coin shapes that cook up super crispy.

Unlike traditional tater tots, they’re flatter and crunchier, offering a better crispy-to-soft ratio.

And at around $3.29 for a 30-ounce bag, they’re as budget-friendly as they are delicious.

Fans are already raving online about the product’s return.

One shopper wrote: “Bought them yesterday and they cooked up super crispy and with a nice amount of salt. Irresistible.”

Others chimed in with comparisons to Taco John’s Potato Olés, especially when sprinkled with Lawry’s seasoned salt.

But for many, the taste and texture scream Chick-fil-A breakfast potatoes—with a crispier edge.

One fan even detailed how they use the crispy rounds to recreate a fast food breakfast bowl.

“I use these plus Just Bare chicken nuggets, eggs, shredded cheese, and salsa to make knock-off Chick-fil-A breakfast bowls,” they wrote.

Another said they bought three bags this time because ALDI hadn’t stocked them in over a year.

It’s a classic ALDI move: bring back a hit product, and watch it fly off the shelves.



Beyond breakfast bowls, these potato coins are versatile enough to play a starring role in multiple meals.

Use them as a side dish, layer them in a casserole, or add them to breakfast burritos for a crispy surprise.

Some home chefs even build mini sliders with them, topped with cheese and dipping sauce for parties or game days.

If you’ve got imagination—and a few bags—you’re good to go.

Like many ALDI specials, this is a limited-time item, so once it’s gone, there’s no guarantee when it’ll be back.

Consider this your reminder to stock up and grab a cart.
