These are really simple! Spread out your frozen hash browns on a sheet pan, top with a few yummy seasonings, and bake until golden and soft. Hash browns made this manner are incredibly easy to make, deliciously flavorful, crispy, cheesy, and virtually entirely hands-free.

Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 1 (30 ounce) package frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed
- 2 large eggs, whisked
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- ½ cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a large nonstick baking sheet with cooking spray or line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Dump hash browns into a large bowl. Whisk together eggs, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Pour egg mixture over the potatoes and stir gently to combine as best you can. Stir in shredded Cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
- Pour melted butter all over the hash browns and stir gently to coat – if the hash browns are still frozen, the butter will chill and set quickly. Spread the hash brown mixture evenly and thinly on the baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until hash browns are browned and crispy all the way around and cheese is melted, about 40 minutes.
- Thawing the hash browns ahead of time will yield crispier potatoes all the way through. They still brown and crisp beautifully around the outside edges from frozen, but won’t be as crisp through the center.

Really good! And I like that this frees up stovetop space for eggs, sausages, etc. Only change; added a small, chopped onion. I would have added some bell peppers if I had any. Will repeat this! Thanks Rebekah!
I love hash browns but don’t like the frying. Perfect solution! All directions and measurements spot-on. I did add diced red and green bell peppers, along with 2/3 cup diced onion. I was trying to do an O’Brien hash browns, but the addition of a diced onion I think is a must. This also would be great for guests or a brunch! Excellent recipe. Thank you!
