Sheet Pan Hash Browns Recipe
Description
This Sheet Pan Hash Browns Recipe starts with crisping diced bacon in a skillet to render the grease. The potatoes, onions, and bell peppers are tossed in a combination of oils, bacon grease, salt, pepper, and a seasoned spice mix to bring layered flavor. The mixture is then baked on a single or divided sheet pan to ensure even browning and crispness. Flipping the hash halfway through cooking and adding cooked bacon during the last portion of baking helps integrate the flavors and heat the bacon through.
The resulting dish offers tender yet crisp chunks of potato with soft cooked peppers and onions, accented by salty, crunchy bacon pieces. It can serve as a standalone hearty breakfast or pair with eggs or other proteins for a full meal.
Variations include adding eggs on top for a fuller breakfast or incorporating cheese, herbs, or additional spices like chili powder to tailor the flavor profile. Different potatoes may be used to alter texture and color, and the bacon can be swapped for other breakfast meats or omitted for a vegetarian version with vegetable oil. Serving immediately ensures the best texture.
Ingredients
- ½ pound Bacon diced, cooked crisp, grease reserved
- 1-2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
- 1-2 medium sweet potato peeled and cubed
- 1 medium russet potato or 4 small Red Potatoes, peeled and cubed (no need to peel red potatoes)
- 1 medium red onion diced (or use sweet onion or yellow onion)
- 2-3 bell pepper color of choice, diced
- 2-3 tablespoons bacon grease reserved
- ½-1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1-3 teaspoons 21 Seasoning Salute Trader Joe’s* or similar
Instructions
- Start by preheating the oven to 425°F (220 ° C), then cook the diced bacon in a preheated skillet over medium-high heat until the pieces are crisp. Remove to paper towel-lined plate. Drain the pan and save the bacon grease for later in the recipe.
- place the diced potatoes, onions, and peppers, in a large bowl or ziplock bag and drizzle with oil, bacon grease, salt, pepper, and seasoning. Mix the ingredients or shake the plastic bag until the potatoes are evenly coated. Place them in an even single layer on a half-sheet baking pan.
- If you added extra veggies, split the mixture onto two cookie sheets so the potatoes and vegetables will brown evenly. Rotate them halfway through cooking.
- Bake the hash in the oven for 40-55 minutes, flipping the breakfast hash halfway through. During the last 10 minutes, stir in the cooked bacon to reheat. That's it! Serve hot!
Notes
- For a heartier breakfast, top the hash browns with fried eggs or mix in cheesy scrambled eggs.
- Add shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, and sour cream after baking for a cheesy variation.
- Use a mix of potato types like sweet potatoes, yams, russets, Yukon gold, or red potatoes for different textures and flavors.
- Swap bacon for breakfast sausage, ham, pancetta, or chorizo for meat variety.
- Omit bacon and bacon grease for a vegetarian version; use vegetable oil instead and consider adding mushrooms or other veggies.
- Spice up the hash with jalapeno, cayenne, chili powder, or hot sauce for a Southwest flavor.
- Replace seasoning blends with your own mix of garlic powder, herbs, and spices if preferred.
- Serve right after baking to maintain crispiness; reheating can soften the texture.
