1 bag frozen hash brown potatoes (dry of ice/water or use the Simply Potatoes Hash Browns brand*, which are dry out of the package)
1 c. sliced green onions, optional
1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese
1 t. sea salt
1/2 t. black pepper
2 T. olive oil
If using frozen hash browns, defrost them overnight in the refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Spray non-stick muffin tins with coconut oil non-stick spray. Press potatoes dry in a large mixing bowl with paper towels, which helps them crisp up, or use a salad spinner to help dry the potatoes.
Mix all ingredients in the bowl. Scoop into muffin tin; evenly distribute all hash browns into each cup; press down just a bit.
Bake 45 minutes or until crispy.
Makes 12.
Store leftovers in covered dish in refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave.
To Make in Advance: Prep in the muffin tins the night before; cover with plastic wrap; remove plastic wrap; bake as directed in the oven.
*The Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns are dry out of the package which saves a step. They will be near the eggs in your grocery store. If using frozen hash browns, dry them using a salad spinner to get the water off, or a clean dish towel or paper towels to dry them. This will help them crisp to a golden brown.
