Crispy and flavorful Baked Parmesan Hashbrowns made with freshly grated potatoes, onions, parmesan cheese, and aromatic herbs. These golden-brown hashbrowns are baked to perfection in a jumbo muffin pan, making them a delicious and convenient breakfast or brunch option.

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1 ½ pounds potatoes, scrubbed and peeled
  • 1 small yellow onion, ends cut off and peeled

Cheese & Herbs

  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons minced chives
  • 2 tablespoons garlic herb seasoning

Spices & Oils

  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and grease the wells of a 6-well jumbo muffin pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Vegetables: Scrub and peel the potatoes completely. Use a food processor or grater to grate the potatoes thoroughly. Similarly, grate the peeled yellow onion after cutting off the ends.
  3. Soak and Drain: Combine the grated potatoes and onion in a large bowl. Cover with cold water and stir to expose all pieces to water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain thoroughly to avoid sogginess.
  4. Mix Ingredients: Add the grated parmesan cheese, minced chives, garlic herb seasoning, freshly ground pepper, and extra virgin olive oil to the drained potato and onion mixture. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
  5. Fill Muffin Pan: Spoon the mixture uniformly into the prepared wells of the jumbo muffin pan, pressing slightly to pack them well.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the tops are beautifully golden brown and crispy.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the baked parmesan hashbrowns hot, ideal as a scrumptious breakfast side dish with your favorite accompaniments.

Notes

  • Using a food processor for grating saves time and ensures fine texture.
  • Soaking the grated potatoes helps reduce excess starch, resulting in crispier hashbrowns.
  • Greasing the muffin pan wells ensures easy removal after baking.
  • You can customize the seasoning by adding paprika or cayenne for a bit of heat.
  • These hashbrowns can be prepared ahead and reheated in the oven for convenience.
