Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Peel the russet potatoes and shred them using a box grater or a food processor with a shredding attachment.
Transfer the shredded potatoes to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible to ensure crispy hash browns.
Place the dried shredded potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Mix well to evenly coat the potatoes with the spices and oil.
Spread the potato mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan for optimal crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet, flip the hash browns using a spatula, and return to the oven.
Continue baking for another 15 minutes or until the hash browns are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the hash browns from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately for best results.
