Ingredients You'll Need

• Frozen hash browns- use your favorite brand!
• Olive oil- or any neutral oil.
• Chopped onion- to add a little savoriness. 
• Melted butter- gives the hash an even better flavor.
• Shredded cheddar cheese- for a little cheesy flavor in every bite.
• Salt and pepper- a pinch of each.

How To Cook Hash Browns In The Oven

1. Prep work: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the frozen hash browns, shredded cheese, salt, pepper, and olive oil to a large bowl and give everything a mix. Add the melted butter and toss gently to combine all the ingredients.

2. Bake: Spread the hash browns over the prepared baking sheet and form them into a large square. Bake them for 25 minutes or until they are golden brown and have crispy edges.

3. Serve: Serve the shredded hash browns with eggs, crispy bacon, or any other breakfast recipe that you want. Dig in and enjoy!

Tips To Make The Best Recipe

• Shape the hash browns into individual rectangular shapes on the baking sheet to make hashbrown patties before baking.
• Add half a teaspoon of garlic powder and onion powder to the potato mixture for a more savory flavor.
• Mix cooked bacon or cubed ham with the hashbrowns before baking to make them more of a meal.
• Bake the sheet pan hash browns for a few minutes longer for extra crispy hashbrowns.
• Make sure not to overlap the hash browns too much, or they won't get as crispy.

How To Store These Oven Baked Hash Browns

In the fridge: If you have leftovers, they can be stored in an airtight container separated by parchment paper. You can keep them in the fridge for 3-5 days.

In the freezer: You can also store them in the freezer. Just wrap them in parchment paper in a freezer-safe bag. They will last for up to 3 months.

Reheating: Layer the hashbrowns on a baking sheet again and warm them up at 400°F for about 5 minutes or until warm. Add more reheating time for the frozen hashbrowns or let them thaw overnight in the fridge.
