Instructions
Cook time: 64 minutes
Adapted from the original ATK recipe for Hungryroot.
The original recipe calls for Yukon Gold potatoes. In this recipe, we are using yellow potatoes. Oven bacon has both a larger margin of error (a few min) + a more even cook. Use a shallow, 3/4-inch high rimmed sheet pan to promote browning + to contain bacon fat. Batch hash browns are best in the oven. For a crispy results, grease the sheet pan, wring out the moisture, and arrange potatoes in an even layer.
Preheat oven 450°; grate or shred potatoes then add to a bowl + cover with cold water, 5 min; drain + discard water; wring + twist ¼ potatoes at a time in a dish towel
Toss potatoes with 6 tbsp oil, 1 tsp salt + ¼ tsp pepper; oil sheet pan then spread evenly (don't pack); bake til spotty brown, 32-35 min; flip in sections, return to oven + bake 6-8 min til golden brown; season with salt/pep
Set oven to 400° + bake bacon on a sheet pan til fat begins to render, 5-6 min; rotate pan + bake til crisp, 5-6 min; drain on paper towels
