Recipe tips and kitchen tricks
- Use russet or Yukon gold potatoes for the best texture and flavor in your Baked Hashbrown Patties.
- Squeeze out excess moisture from the grated potatoes to achieve crispier patties.
- For extra flavor, add minced garlic or your favorite herbs and spices to the potato mixture.
- Grease the baking sheet generously to prevent sticking.
- Flip the patties halfway through baking for even browning on both sides.
- If you prefer a softer texture, you can parboil the grated potatoes for a few minutes before mixing them with the other ingredients.
- Experiment with different toppings and dips, such as sour cream, salsa, or ketchup, to enhance the taste of your hash brown patties.
- Make a large batch and freeze the extras for quick and convenient breakfast options.

So I need to add the cheese?
Hi Shelby,
No, you can omit the cheese if you prefer. No need to make any other adjustments.
loved – loved – loved these! So glad to make them at home. The store ones taste like garbarge.
Do I need the egg in this recipe?
Hi Holli – I have not tried it without the egg so I’m not sure.
Can I omit the egg?
I have not tried this recipe without the egg. It is used here as a binder so that the hashbrowns hold their shape. You may be able to add some flour as a binder or an egg substitute like ground chia seeds. However, I do not know what this would do to the flavor profile.
