NOTE: These hashbrowns turned out perfect and I was able to cook them using a metal baking sheet and a wooden spoon without any issues. I did not have the same issue as some of my readers have had with the hashbrowns getting stuck to the foil.

Combine the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese in a bowl.
Top with any leftover toppings (like eggs and cheese).
