Sheet Pan American Crispy Hash Browns - the perfect side for when you fancy a filling breakfast and perfect with eggs, bacon or sausage.

Sheet Pan Hash Browns

If you have ever been to an American diner, then you have no doubt had some hash browns on your plate with the usual breakfast ingredients.

American hash browns are very different to what you are used to back in the UK. In the USA, it tends to be grated seasoned potato pan fried in heaps of oil or butter, whereas in the UK they are typically little frozen triangles of packed together grated potato with a crispy golden outside. If the latter is your preferred kind of hash brown, then you just have to check out my Crispy Golden Hash Browns, which are hugely popular.

Easy Shredded American Style Potato Hash Browns

However, If you want a crispy hash brown that is super easy to make, then this Sheet Pan American Crispy Hash Browns is definitely for you. The only part that takes effort is the grating of the potatoes.

But if you are lucky enough to own a Ninja Complete Kitchen System like me or a similar food processor, even that will take minimal effort, as it will grate a whole potato for you in seconds. I love mine and use it for all kinds of things, such as chopping vegetables, grating, blending even making cookie dough (the latter not at all Slimming World friendly of course and is usually for the kids).

Best Potatoes for Hash Browns

I do recommend choosing wisely the type of potato you use however. Stick to a starchy type to get that perfect outer crispness. Here over this side of the Atlantic Russet's are the best variety for these Sheet Pan American Crispy Hash Browns, in the UK choose Maris Piper or similar.

Once grated, I rinse under cold running water in a colander or sieve, and shake to remove the excess liquid, then spread out on kitchen paper and pat dry, prior to cooking. This method yields the perfect Sheet Pan American Crispy Hash Browns every time.
