Oven Hash Browns

Another Tasty Tuesday (even though I'm posting on Monday, lol)


Ingredients
7-8 potatoes
3/4 tsp garlic powder
3/4 tsp paprika (optional)
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup olive oil
Fresh ground pepper to taste

Directions
1. Peel and cube potatoes. Pieces should not be any larger than 1x1x2 (okay, that's not exactly a cube, but you get the idea). If potato pieces are larger, increase baking time.
2. Combine all the ingredients, except potatoes, in a large bowl.
3. Add the potatoes and coat evenly.
4. Place potatoes in an even layer in a large Pampered Chef bar pan.
5. Bake for 1 hour at 375 degrees or until the potatoes are done.

Cook's notes:
This is a great way to use up extra potatoes. I like this better without the paprika, but A likes it with.

Also, I do wish these would get a little crispier, since that's how I like my hash browns. But still, this is pretty darn easy and frees up a pan on the stove. Any suggestions for making these crispier would be welcome.

I'm not familiar with "a large Pampered Chef bar pan," but I would roast these at a much higher temp -- up to 450 -- for crispy edges. Don't bake as long -- maybe only 30 minutes. If your pan will allow it, try the higher temp. And turn them about halfway -- wait until they easily scrape up with a thin spatula. If they don't give, they're not ready to turn.

The Pampered Chef bar pan is a stoneware pan. I like using it because I don't have to grease the pan (thus saving on calories, lol). I'll have to try the higher temp. next time. Thanks for the tip.
