Oven Baked Hash Browns
Description
This oven baked hash browns recipe uses grated potato and onion combined with whisked egg, garlic granules, salt, and pepper, shaped into rounds and baked on a lightly greased tray. Baking at 200°C (400°F) with a flip halfway through cooking crisps both sides evenly, delivering a crisp exterior texture with a moist, tender interior.
The inclusion of onion adds sweetness and depth, while garlic granules season the mixture subtly. This method avoids deep frying and still achieves desirable crispness and texture. They can be served on their own or paired with toppings such as eggs or wilted spinach.
These hash browns are a good base for customization: adding spices like smoked paprika or Mexican seasoning, mixing grated cheese, or substituting sweet potatoes can alter the flavor profile. Lightly pan-frying before serving can enhance crispness if desired.
Ideal served as part of a hearty breakfast or brunch, these hash browns offer a home-cooked alternative to fried versions, benefiting from less oil and easy oven preparation.
