Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash, peel, and grate the russet potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
Transfer the grated potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Spread the potato mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down gently to create a flat, even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the hash browns are golden brown and crispy around the edges. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even cooking.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before cutting into squares or serving as-is.
Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving for an extra touch of flavor and color.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own with your favorite toppings like sour cream or ketchup.
