How do you make crispy hash browns with fresh potatoes?
Following the simple trick in this recipe, you can get crispy hash browns with fresh potatoes pretty easily. It’s not as easy as using pre-shredded, frozen or freeze dried hash browns, but that’s ok. We like cooking with real, unpackaged food whenever possible, even if it takes a little extra effort. Plus, a lot of frozen shredded hash browns contain dextrose (sugar) and other flavoring an preservatives.
Tips for the crispy hash browns
To get crispy hash browns from fresh potatoes you need to remove some of the starch and prevent them from turning “gummy” when cooking. Here’s the method:
- Dunk the shredded potatoes in water and rinse them well to remove the starch.
- Wring as much of the water out of the potatoes as you can (this is key!)
- Spread the shredded potatoes out in a very thin layer on the sheet pan.
- Turn the oven up to broil for the final few minutes to crisp up the top layer.

Sheet Pan Breakfast Bake (Paleo + Whole30)
Ingredients
- 8 cups shredded potatoes, (about 3 russet potatoes, use either a box grater or the food processor with the grating attachment to shred)
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 4 tbsp ghee, (or coconut oil for dairy free)
- 1 package Jones Dairy Farm Raw No Sugar Pork Sausage Links, thawed
- 6-8 eggs
- Sliced avocado, (optional topping)
For the seasoning:
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° Fahrenheit. Prep onion and bell pepper as noted. Add seasoning ingredients to a small bowl and mix. Set aside.
- Shred potatoes and place them immediately in a large bowl of cold water. Stir to mix, the water will turn cloudy. Drain potatoes in a colander and rinse them well with cold water.
- Transfer potatoes to a large kitchen towel. Bundle the ends of the towel and twist it potatoes over sink, squeezing hard to wring out as much liquid as possible. Open towel and toss potatoes to loosen. Wring out potatoes once more.
- Grease two 11×17 sheet pans with 1 tbsp of ghee each (use more if needed). Place 1/2 of the potatoes, onion and bell pepper on each sheet pan. Melt the remaining 2 tbsp of ghee in the microwave or on the stovetop. Pour 1/2 over over the potato mixture in each sheet pan and toss to mix. Season each pan with 1/2 of the seasoning mix. Toss to mix and distribute the seasonings.
- Spread the hash brown mixture out in as evenly as possible in a thin layer on each sheet pan. Place in the oven to cook for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, remove the hash browns and place the sausage links in the pan. Return to the oven to cook for 20 more minutes.
- After 20 minutes, remove the hash browns and crack eggs on top of the hash browns around the sausage links. Season eggs with a bit of salt and pepper. Return to the oven to bake for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, turn the oven up to broil. Broil for 2-4 more minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
- Remove and scoop out servings of hash browns, eggs and sausage. Top with avocado slices if desired.
Breakfast as dinner just got even better!!!
So good!
This meal was perfect for brunch for our extended family get together. I cheated and used a regular breakfast sausage, but it worked out just the same. We have family with lots of dietary restrictions, and this meal catered to them all, and was also delicious. Can’t go wrong with that combo!
Perfect, that’s great to hear it worked for everyone :).
I created last weeks meal plan with several of you recipes and this was delicious! A new favorite breakfast for my family. We don’t eat pork so I did substitute Applegate’s chicken breakfast sausage links that are Whole30 approved and it was very tasty. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you’re loving this one!
