How to Make

Next, spread the potatoes in an even layer on the pan. Then drizzle the melted butter all over the potatoes.

Stir to mix in the butter and season with salt and pepper.

Bake for 30 minutes, and then once the potatoes get crispy remove them from the oven.

Top with the cheese and then return to the oven for another 10 minutes or until all the cheese is melted.

Variations and Tips

• Skip the cheese if you don’t like cheese.
• Any type of cheese works. Pepper Jack, Swiss, Monterey Jack, etc.
• Dice up some onion and peppers and sprinkle it with the hashbrowns with added flavor.
• Season with any type of seasoning. Feel free to pick and choose spices you like.
• Make sure to evenly spread the hashbrowns. If the layer is too thick they will not all become crispy.
• Ensure you grease the pan and coat the hashbrowns with the butter otherwise, they will stick to the pan and will not become crispy.
• When you pull out the hashbrowns to add cheese. Flip the hashbrowns over to ensure both sides are crispy.
• Add chopped herbs, such as rosemary or thyme, to the potato mixture before baking for added flavor.
• Try mixing in other vegetables, such as bell peppers or onions, for a different texture and taste.
• For a spicy kick, add cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the seasoning mix.
• Top the hash browns with shredded cheese before baking for a melty, gooey finish.
• For a protein-packed meal, add cooked bacon or sausage to the potato mixture before baking.
• Experiment with different types of potatoes, such as sweet potatoes or purple potatoes, for a colorful twist.

Storing

You are welcome to store any of the hashbrowns you do not eat right away in a sealed container in the fridge. The hash browns will store for 3-4 days.

You can reheat it in the oven or the microwave. Just heat until the potatoes are warmed all the way through.

Can I use homemade hash browns?

Yes, you can grate your how hashbrowns if you want. Just soak them in cold water for 5 minutes to help the potatoes not brown as quickly. Drain off the water and then prepare the sheet pan hashbrowns the same.

Now depending on the texture it can take a bit longer to cook, so you will cook your potatoes until they are fully done.

What if my hashbrowns are looking dry?

Sometimes the butter soaks up pretty quickly while it is being baked. If that is the case you will find you can add a drizzle of oil or additional butter to help prevent your hash browns from drying out as they bake in the oven.
