A quick and easy sheet pan breakfast featuring crispy hash browns and perfectly browned sausage links, ideal for busy mornings or lazy weekends.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns (approx. 600g), thawed slightly
  • 8 sausage links (about 1 lb or 450g), spicy or mild
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the thawed hash browns with olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  4. Spread the seasoned hash browns evenly across one half of the pan, pressing gently to create a compact layer about 1/2 inch thick.
  5. Arrange the sausage links on the other half of the sheet pan, spacing them out to allow heat circulation. Prick thicker sausages with a fork if desired.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Halfway through, flip the sausage links with tongs and gently stir or flip the hash browns.
  7. Continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes until the hash browns are crispy and golden brown and the sausages are cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F/71°C).
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for a couple of minutes to firm up the hash browns.
  9. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top if using.
  10. Serve hot with your favorite breakfast condiments such as ketchup or hot sauce.

Notes

Thaw hash browns slightly before roasting for best crispiness. Use high heat (425°F) to crisp edges without drying sausage. Flip sausage and stir hash browns halfway through cooking. For extra crispiness, broil 1-2 minutes at the end, watching closely. Avoid overcrowding the pan. Use quality sausages with natural casings for best flavor. Leftovers reheat best in skillet or oven, not microwave.
