Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 lb potatoes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried dill
  • 3/4 to 1 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Wash and peel the potatoes.
  • Shred the potatoes using a food processor or a box grater.
  • Transfer the shredded potatoes to a bowl or colander.
  • Rinse the shredded potatoes thoroughly with cold water until the water runs nearly clear.

  • Mix until the potatoes are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
  • Portion approximately 1/4 cup of the potato mixture for each hash brown.
  • Place each portion onto the prepared baking tray.
  • Press each portion firmly into a round patty. A ring mold may be used for a more uniform shape.

  • If shaping by hand, press each portion firmly with a spatula until compact.
  • Place the baking tray in the preheated oven.
  • Bake for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the tray from the oven.
  • Gently flip each hash brown round using a spatula.
  • Return the tray to the oven.
