I’m continuing the grilled breakfast series with an easy favorite: Traeger Grilled Hash Browns. This is a low-effort way to make a flavorful breakfast while you enjoy coffee on the deck, patio, or in the backyard—no standing over a hot stovetop required.
Traeger Grilled Hash Browns Recipe
Spring and summer are perfect for big, leisurely breakfasts. I love treating the family to a hearty morning meal, but I don’t love standing over a hot stove when it’s warm outside. Grilling breakfast lets you stay outside and still serve something comforting and tasty.
These Traeger Grilled Hash Browns are mostly hands-off: once they’re on a sheet pan in the grill, you can relax and finish other breakfast items or sip your coffee while they cook to golden crispness.
This simple recipe uses frozen diced hash browns and a bit of fat for crisping. It’s a great base for add-ins and pairs well with bacon, eggs, biscuits, or any other grilled breakfast components you want to prepare.

How To Make This Recipe
Here’s a straightforward overview so you know what to expect. Use the full recipe card at the bottom when you cook.
- Preheat – Heat your grill to about 375°F. You can increase to 400°F if you’re also cooking other items that require a higher temperature.
- Prep – Spread the grease or oil across a large rimmed baking sheet, then spread the frozen hash browns in a single layer. Season with seasoned salt and pepper.
- Grill – Place the sheet in the grill and cook until the hash browns are browned and crisp. Flip them about halfway through—after roughly 15 minutes—to encourage even browning. Total cook time varies but plan on 30–45 minutes depending on crispiness preference.
- Enjoy – Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve alongside other grilled breakfast items.
Serve with grilled eggs, bacon, or biscuits for a full outdoor breakfast.
Recipe FAQ
Yes. They store well, but because they’re quick and easy to prepare, you may prefer to cook them fresh. If making ahead, cool completely, store in a freezer bag or airtight container, and reheat before serving.
What’s the best way to store and reheat leftovers?
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for short-term use or in the freezer for longer storage. Reheat in the microwave for convenience, or for better texture, sauté in a skillet with a little butter or oil to restore crispness.
Are there suggested additions or substitutions?
Absolutely. Stir in diced onions, bell peppers, or cooked sausage for extra flavor. You can use different oils if you prefer not to use bacon grease—avocado oil or a neutral vegetable oil work well. Adjust the seasoned salt to taste or swap for your favorite seasoning blend.
