Critical Success Points

  • Soaking shredded potatoes removes excess starch for crispness.
  • Thoroughly drying the potatoes prevents sogginess.
  • Do not pack the potatoes on the sheet; keep them in a single thin layer.
  • Flip the hash browns carefully to avoid breaking them.

Safety Warnings

  • The oven and baking sheet become extremely hot; always use oven mitts.
  • Olive oil can splatter when tossed; avoid contact with eyes.
