Whether served alongside eggs, avocado toast, or your favorite protein, these baked hash browns will steal the show at your table.
Preheat your oven to 425Β°F (220Β°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or a food processor with a shredding attachment.
Place the shredded potatoes into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Removing excess liquid is key to achieving crispy hash browns.
Peel and grate the yellow onion, then combine it with the shredded potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the potato and onion mixture, then sprinkle in the cornstarch, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Spread the potato mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Press it gently with your hands or a spatula to flatten it slightly.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, use a spatula to flip sections of the hash browns for even cooking.
Continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the hash browns are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the hash browns from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before cutting into squares or wedges.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy!
