Crispy Golden Hash Browns - oven baked until perfectly golden and crispy on the outside with soft fluffy potato in the middle, just the way a good hash brown should be. They are perfect for breakfast alongside eggs, bacon or all your favourite brunch dishes.

When I think of hash browns, I always picture those classic golden crispy potato patties that you can pick up and dunk straight into a runny egg yolk. They are surprisingly easy to make at home too and baking them in the oven keeps them lighter on the calories while still giving you that delicious crispy golden finish.

Ingredients Notes

To make this recipe you will need the following ingredients:

Potatoes - A floury potato variety like russet works best for hash browns as they crisp up beautifully while staying soft and fluffy inside.
Fine Sea Salt - Helps season the potatoes and bring out all that delicious potato flavour.
Onion Powder - Adds a subtle savoury flavour that works perfectly in homemade hash browns.
Olive Oil Spray - Helps the hash browns crisp up nicely in the oven without needing lots of oil.
Spring Onions - Optional, but great sprinkled over the top for a little freshness and colour before serving.

Once you've gathered all the ingredients and prepared them accordingly, you're all set to create this easy and delightful recipe.

See the recipe card for specific quantities and instructions.

How To Get The Perfect Hash Brown

Once you have the potato mixture ready, all that is left to do is shape the hash browns before baking.

To get that classic round hash brown shape, I like to use egg rings . They are perfect for packing the grated potato mixture firmly together so the hash browns hold their shape while cooking. Simply place the ring onto the tray, add the potato mixture and press it down firmly with the back of a spoon before carefully removing the ring and repeating with the remaining mixture.

They do not need to be perfectly round or completely uniform, but using egg rings really helps compact the potato so you get those lovely crisp golden hash browns that hold together well.

Side Suggestions

These hash browns work perfectly as part of a big breakfast or brunch and pair well with all kinds of classic breakfast favourites. Eggs cooked any way you like are always a great choice, whether that is sunny side up, poached, scrambled or fried with a lovely runny yolk for dipping. Bacon and sausage are perfect alongside too, and baked beans, grilled tomatoes or sautéed mushrooms all work really well for a more complete breakfast plate.

These are also great served alongside the hash browns:

Storing, Freezing and Reheating

Storing

Allow the hash browns to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Freezing

These hash browns freeze really well. Once cooled, place them on a tray and freeze until firm before transferring to a freezer safe bag or container. You can also place small squares of parchment paper between each hash brown so they can be stacked and separated easily straight from the freezer. Freeze for up to 3 months.

Reheating

For the best crispy texture, reheat in the oven or air fryer until hot and crisp again. You can also reheat in a frying pan over a medium heat.

Yield: MAKES 8 HASH BROWNS

Oven Baked Crispy Golden Hash Browns

Crispy Golden Hash Browns - perfectly crispy oven baked hash browns with a soft fluffy middle that are perfect for breakfast or brunch.

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 45 minutes

Total Time 1 hour

Ingredients

900g (32oz) of raw potato, peeled (floury variety such as russet potatoes)
1 teaspoon of fine sea salt
½ teaspoon of onion powder
olive oil spray
optional: 2 spring onions, chopped to garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 210°C fan, 230°C, 450°F or gas mark 8.
Peel the potatoes and add to a saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil.
Once boiling, cook for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and leave the potatoes sitting in the hot water for another 5 minutes.
Drain and run under cold water until cool enough to handle.
Grate the potatoes into a large bowl.
Transfer the grated potato to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. Avoid using kitchen paper as it will stick to the potato.
Return the potato to the bowl, add the salt and onion powder and mix well to combine.
Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
Place egg rings onto the tray and spray the inside of each one generously with olive oil spray. Spoon some of the potato mixture into each ring, pressing down firmly with the back of a spoon to compact the mixture.
Repeat until you have 8 hash brown rounds.
Spray the tops generously with olive oil spray.
Bake in the oven for approximately 20 minutes, then carefully flip each hash brown over. Spray again generously with olive oil spray and return to the oven for another 20 minutes until crisp and golden.
Serve with your favourite breakfast items and sprinkle with chopped spring onions if using.
Enjoy!!
