Air Fryer Frozen Hash Brown Patties

Air Fryer Frozen Hash Brown Patties are a popular breakfast staple that are so easy to make in the air fryer and they always come out nice and crispy with no added oil.

Although you can make frozen hash browns on the stove, I prefer making them in my air fryer. It is super convenient, quick, and gives it a really nice crispy crunch that it doesn’t quite achieve on the stove. Since the air fryer will cook evenly with circulating air, there’s no need to add any additional oil.

This recipe below is for frozen hashbrown patties that you can buy in the freezer section at the grocery. You’ll need alternate instructions for country-style hashbrowns that are shredded or for homemade hashbrowns.

Ingredients You Need

Making hash browns in the air fryer is effortless if you buy pre-formed frozen hash browns at the store. There are so many different brands. You can use any one that you like. We particularly like Ore Ida Hash Browns. Idaho Spuds Hash Browns are great too.

The amount of frozen hashbrown patties you can make depends only on the size of your appetize and the size of your air fryer. You won’t want to overlap them, so they get crispy all around. And the only other ingredient you’ll need is salt and pepper, or maybe some ketchup for dipping, if that’s your jam.

How to Make Air Fryer Frozen Hash Brown Patties

Making an air fryer hash brown patty is very easy. Here are simple steps you have to follow.

Place the frozen hash browns in the air fryer basket. There’s no need to spray the basket or the hash browns as they already contain a bit of oil. They will crisp up on their own just fine.

Cook at 400°F for 10 minutes, turning halfway through cooking. They’ll end up perfectly crispy and just a little bit golden brown.

Tips & Suggestions

Here are a few things to remember when making air fry hash browns from frozen.

• Don’t defrost the hashbrowns. They should be cooked from frozen in the air fryer. Save yourself the extra step!
• Don’t stack the frozen hashbrowns in the air fryer or crowd them together. They need room to breath in order to get crispy all around. Only put as many in as you can fit without crowding.
• There is no need to put any extra oil on the hashbrowns while they cook. The oil contained in them already will be sufficient to make them crispy.
• Don’t use a fork or other metal utensil to flip or remove the hashbrowns. It can damage the non-stick coating. Instead, use silicon-tipped tongs or a spatula to move foods around.
