Ingredients

• 22oz frozen hash browns
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• seasoning to taste (I use salt, pepper & garlic powder)

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400° F and line a large baking sheet with foil. Generously grease the foil with oil or nonstick cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, mix together the frozen hash browns, shredded cheese, and seasoning.
• Add the olive oil and mix well, spreading the oil through the mixture. Add the melted butter and mix again.
• Evenly spread the hash brown mixture onto your prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 25-28 minutes, or until the hash browns are golden brown with crispy edges.

Notes

• I prefer using non-stick foil because it practically guarantees nothing will stick to your pan. Give it a try! I'm hooked.
• Any seasoning can be used for this including onion powder, rosemary, paprika, Tony Chacheres, or anything else that would complement hash browns.
