Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Lightly spray the parchment with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using a coarse grater. Place the grated potatoes in a large bowl of cold water to remove excess starch. Let them sit for 5 minutes.
Step 3
Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much water as possible to ensure the hash browns crisp up in the oven.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the potatoes evenly with the seasoning.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. For extra crispy hash browns, press them down slightly with the back of a spatula.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping the hash browns halfway through cooking. They should be golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy them on their own.
