Crispy Diced Hash Browns (Oven-Baked Home Fries)
These crispy diced hash browns — also known as southern style hash browns or home fries — are oven-baked with a simple garlic-paprika seasoning blend. Budget-friendly, gluten-free, and ready in 45 minutes.
Ingredients
- 3 large russet potatoes cut into ½-inch cubes (about 5½–6 cups)
- 2 ½ teaspoons salt divided
- ¼ cup olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Add the cubed potatoes to a large pot and cover with cool water. Add 1½ teaspoons salt.
- Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to medium-high and simmer uncovered for 4–6 minutes, until just firm when pierced with a fork. Drain.
- Spread the olive oil on a large baking sheet. Scatter the drained potatoes on the pan and sprinkle with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Toss until evenly coated.
- Roast for 25–28 minutes, stirring every 7–8 minutes, until deep golden brown and crispy. Serve hot.
Notes
- Make ahead: Parboil the potatoes the night before, store covered in the fridge, pat dry, and roast in the morning.
- Air fryer: 400°F for 15–18 minutes, shaking halfway. Single layer only.
- Storage: Refrigerate in an airtight container for 4–5 days. Reheat at 300°F for 5–8 minutes. Does not freeze well.
- Spice swaps: Try everything bagel seasoning, Italian herbs, or add cayenne for heat.
- Oil substitute: Avocado oil, canola oil, or vegetable oil all work.
