Made with freshly grated Russet potatoes and seasoned with a savory blend of garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper, these hash browns achieve the perfect balance of flavor and texture—all without the need for frying. A touch of cornstarch helps create that sought-after crispiness, while the oven baking method keeps things light and fuss-free. Garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color, they’re an easy, wholesome way to elevate any meal. Ready in just 45 minutes, these hash browns are the ultimate comfort food made healthier—and deliciously homemade!
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using the large holes of a box grater or a food processor. Place the shredded potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess water as possible.
Transfer the shredded potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cornstarch. Mix until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasonings.
Spread the potato mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in a thin, even layer. Use a spatula to press it down gently but firmly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, remove the baking sheet from the oven and use a spatula to flip the hash brown layer carefully.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the hash browns are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Cut into squares or wedges and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade oven baked hash browns!
