Oven Hash Browns ~
The easiest way to get perfect hash browns every time!
Sheet Pan Hash Browns Recipe
I like this recipe because it makes cooking a bag of frozen hash browns a snap.
I’ve always enjoyed the convenience of prepackaged hash browns. However, my track record of success with cooking them in a skillet on the stove has been mediocre at best. I constantly struggled with getting them cooked evenly; there would always be a few undercooked areas, usually right next to the extra crisp pieces. And as anyone who has ever prepared shredded hash browns knows, there is a fine line between crispy and burnt.
The best way to get evenly cooked and perfectly crispy hash browns every time is simply to get them off the stovetop and into the oven.
Quick Tip for Success
- For best results, line your baking sheet with parchment paper. My experience has been that hash browns will stick to aluminum foil. And silicone baking mats, while economical to use, will not yield the same crispy potatoes we’re after in this recipe.
Ingredients for Oven Hash Browns
You will need:
- 20 ounces frozen hash browns, shredded
- 3 tablespoons vegan butter, melted
- 1/4 cup yellow onion, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
How to Cook Hash Browns in the Oven
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a half-sheet baking pan with parchment paper.
STEP TWO: Into a large bowl, add the frozen hash browns and onions. Drizzle with butter and toss to coat.
STEP THREE: In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Sprinkle over the hash browns and toss again to evenly distribute the seasonings.
STEP FOUR: Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and spread into an even layer.
STEP FIVE: Bake for 45 minutes, or until hashbrowns reach your desired level of crispness. Serve hot.
