Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 (30 oz.) package frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
butter flavored cooking spray
1-2 Tbsp canola oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
  • 2. Line a 1 sheet pan with parchment paper and spray paper generously with butter flavored cooking spray.
  • 3. Place hash browns in a large bowl, gently press hashbrowns dry with paper towel. Do not mash or squeeze as they will mush together.
  • 4. Toss the hash browns with salt, pepper and canola oil until evenly distributed
  • 5. Spread the hashbrowns very thinly and evenly over the parchment lined pan.
  • 6. Bake in preheated oven on the bottom rack for about 15 minutes, then flip them and bake for another 15 minutes or until desired crispness.
  • 7. Breakfast is served!

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for crispy hash browns due to their high starch content, which results in a fluffy interior and crispy exterior.
  • Shred the Potatoes Evenly: Use a grater with large holes to ensure that the potatoes are shredded evenly. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your hash browns generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
  • Cook Over Medium Heat: Cooking your hash browns over medium heat will help them cook evenly without burning. Be patient and allow them to cook for several minutes per side, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Don't Crowd the Pan: When cooking hash browns, it's important to not crowd the pan. This will prevent them from steaming and becoming soggy.
  • Serve Immediately: Hash browns are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will ensure that they are crispy and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Crispy hash browns are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
