Place the shredded potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture. This helps create extra crispy hash browns.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Spread the potatoes evenly into the skillet and gently press them down into a thin layer.
Cook undisturbed for 5–7 minutes until the bottom becomes golden and crisp.
Carefully flip the potatoes and cook the second side for another 5–6 minutes until fully crispy.
In a small bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Transfer the crispy hash browns to a serving plate.
Spread the avocado mixture generously over the warm hash browns.
Finish the Hash Brown Avocado Toast with red pepper flakes and fresh herbs before serving.
