Crispy Oven Hash Browns

August 29, 2017 by Mirlandra 39 Comments

Jump to Recipe

The oven is the easiest way to make perfect, crispy, golden hash browns! They taste amazing, never burn and you don’t have to slave in the kitchen! 

a plate of crispy oven hash browns with over easy eggs and two strips of bacon.

Raise your hand if you LOVE breakfast!  Bacon, eggs, hash browns, pancakes, sausage, coffee, orange juice – am I speaking your language yet?

Since Jonathan and I got married, Saturday mornings have been for breakfast.  And not just some oatmeal – I’m talking big scale productions that cover the table in piles of food.  Ok, to tell the truth sometimes that man gets a bit carried away but I really love that part of him.  I also love breakfast so getting carried away about breakfast is pretty easy for me to stomach 😉

The Oven Makes the Best Crispy Hash Browns

In his quest for amazing breakfast Jonathan has tried a lot of different ways of making hash browns.  The problem is he gets easily distracted with his epic cooking projects and we have had more than a few burned  batches.

I think at this point we have tried cooking hash browns with every method possible!  After years of trial and error I’m convinced that oven hash browns are the BEST!

They come out crispy. 
You don’t have to stir.
The potatoes get tossed in, you set a timer and then breakfast is ready!

So how do you like them apples?  Yeah…I thought so.

Unless you have a house elf hidden somewhere I don’t know about (geeky Harry Potter reference) you need this breakfast recipe!

Have a great week guys.  Thanks for stopping by to cook with me!

Use a Food Processor to Make Hash browns Fast

Hash browns that are shredded in a food processor actually have a better texture for cooking!

And it saves a ton of time / getting your fingers on a box grater.  This is a good tool to invest in for quite a few cooking projects.

If you love breakfast as much as we do try these pancakes.  They are amazing and readers tell me all the time this is now their only pancake recipe!

Author Mirlandra Neuneker

Ingredients

  • 5 1/2 cups peeled and grated potatoes
  • 3 Tbsp. salted butter melted
  • 2 Tbsp. canola oil
  • ½ tsp. powdered chicken bouillon such as Knorr
  • ¼ tsp. seasoning salt
  • ¼ - ½ tsp. fresh ground black pepper course grind

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Peel potatoes and shred in a food processor with the shredding attachment (preferred) or with a box grater.
  • Put the shredded potatoes in a large bowl and fill with cold water. Swish and then dump the potatoes into a colander.
  • Put the potatoes back into the bowl and repeat twice more. The water will be fairly clear when you are done.
  • One handful at a time, squeeze shredded potatoes as hard as you can to get as much water out as possible before returning them to the bowl.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients and toss by hand until well mixed.
  • Scatter the potatoes over the lined pan as evenly as possible.
  • Bake in preheated oven on the bottom rack for about 15 minutes. When the edges are starting to brown, move the pan to the top rack. Bake for another 15 minutes until crisp. (No need to stir at any point!)
  • Serve immediately.

      Oh yes! Fresh chives are a favorite of mine in hash browns. They are so flexible. Also Cajun seasoning!!! (Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I was in the hospital having our daughter and I’m just now catching up on comments!)

    I think I had more than 5 1/2 c of potatoes because mine were still pale white after 30 minutes. I increased the oven temp to 450 and they were done after an additional 20 minutes. The flavor was good and the hash browns were crispy without being greasy. Thanks for a great recipe!

      I’m so glad you liked it! If you had extra potatoes it would have taken longer for sure. You also might want to put a thermometer in your oven and just give it a check to make sure it is the right temp. Most grocery stores have a metal one that can just hang in your oven and help you figure out your exact temperatures. I’m surprised how often ovens are wrong! Now I want hash browns – must be snack time!

    I wanted to try something simple so I tried your recipe . Everything was great until they were done when the parchment paper stuck to the hashbrowns . Next time I’ll do it without the parchment paper .

      This happened to me as well, during a brunch with guests…I would suggest using foil instead if you feel you need to make cleaning easier.

    I have been cooking my hashbrowns in the oven for a couple of years now.. never thought to move them to the top rack.. cant wait to try it.. I also like my hashbrowns in bacon grease.. i know its bad but its oooohhhh so good.. you can make your bacon in the oven as well.. preheat at 400 degrees.. line your baking sheet with foil. layering your sheet with bacon and put in oven.. for 15 to 20 min.. afterwards take your bacon out onto a paper towel plate. put your hashbowns on the baking sheet mix it up with your bacon grease.. and put back in your already preheated 400 degree oven for the required time.. I am sure you will enjoy it.

      Oh you are speaking my language!!!! And – you are in luck! Recent studies are indicating that using animal fat might be a healthy option. So bring on the bacon grease! I can’t wait to try this – my husband is going to be ecstatic! Thanks so much for cluing us into this genius idea!

    Just made these for my family and we all absolutely loved them!! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out great!! Not having to flip them made cooking them so easy! I had to use tin foil instead of parchment paper, as it’s all I had on hand, then topped with green onions and shredded cheese at the end. Thank you! Will be making these again!! 🙂

    THESE ARE AMAZING & EASY! We have tried to make hashbrowns on the stove or cast iron skillet and they are either burned or not cooked enough. This method was so easy & the result was the best hash browns I have ever made. MY husband was very impressed.

    I ended up using an 8X8 glass dish and baked the pre-shredded hash browns for 40 min at 350 because I wanted to make sure I had some crispiness. The bottom had a nice golden brown and a little crunch. I am saving this and going to make a larger batch next time!

      Rebecca thanks for sharing! We have also done the cast iron skillet and that one can be hard! SO many burned hash browns that way. It can be done but you have to practice to really get good. I love that this was such a hit for you!

    Never browned up until I turned my broiler on. I did like it that I could bake it. That is my preference over frying. I thought it could use a little more seasoning.

      Hi Sue, thanks for the feedback! I often use the broiler at the end to get that extra crispy bit. SO much easier than frying! The great thing about hashbrowns is you can season them up more if you like 🙂 Enjoy!

      Hi Ann – I’m not sure what you are thinking about a make ahead option here? Potatoes that have been grated will start to go pink if left out for awhile and hash browns are best hot out of the oven. You could grate up the potatoes maybe 30 minutes in advance but not much more. I hope that brings some clarity!

    These hash browns are fabulous!!! I used beef tallow as the fat and what a great flavour that imparts! I will be using this technique for hash browns many times. I can eat hash browns, eggs and toast anytime of the day…so good!

    This looks like a 5 star recipe and we want to make this recipe this weekend. Can you advise what is the best potato to use? And, about how many potato’s does it take to make 5 1/2 cups shredded? Thanks!

      Hi Kim! Great question! I usually use russet potatoes for hash browns. They are all good all around cooking potato. The number of potatoes you need will depend on the size of the potato. I suggest getting a 5 pound bag of russets so you have plenty on hand. I imagine you will have some left over but I am a potato lover so this doesn’t seem like a bad problem to have!
