Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Grater if making fresh hash browns
  • Paper Towels or Clean Towel for squeezing out moisture
  • Cooking Spray optional for extra crispiness
  • Tongs or Spatula for flipping hash browns

Ingredients

  • 4 medium potatoes (or 4-6 frozen hash brown patties)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray (optional for extra crispiness)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Potatoes
    Peel and grate the potatoes (or use frozen hash brown patties). If making homemade hash browns, rinse the grated potatoes to remove excess starch and squeeze out any excess moisture using a clean towel or paper towels.
  • Season the Potatoes
    In a mixing bowl, season the grated potatoes with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices (garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, etc.). You can also add a small amount of oil to help with crisping if desired.
  • Preheat the Air Fryer
    Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  • Shape and Arrange
    Form the seasoned potato mixture into small patties, or simply spread the grated potatoes evenly if making a hash. Arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
  • Cook the Hash Browns
    Air fry the hash browns at 400°F (200°C) for 10-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. Check for your desired level of crispiness.
  • Serve
    Once golden and crispy, remove the hash browns from the air fryer and serve immediately. Enjoy with eggs, bacon, or your favorite dipping sauce!
