Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash, peel, and grate the russet potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Step 3

Transfer the grated potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 4

Spread the potato mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down gently to create a flat, even layer.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the hash browns are golden brown and crispy around the edges. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even cooking.

Step 6

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before cutting into squares or serving as-is.

Step 7

Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving for an extra touch of flavor and color.

Step 8

Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own with your favorite toppings like sour cream or ketchup.
