Total Time 50 minutes mins
- 20 oz bag frozen hash brown potatoes thawed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese or shredded real Parmesan
- 1 cup sliced green onions optional
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine hash browns, olive oil, Parmesan, green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly coated.
Spread mixture evenly on the baking sheet, pressing down gently with a spatula to form a compact layer.
Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden brown on the bottom.
Broil for an additional 5 minutes if needed to crisp the top.
Let cool slightly, then slice into squares and serve.
