Equipment

Ingredients
 

For frozen hash browns:

  • 4 frozen hashbrowns

For homemade hash browns:

  • 4 medium potatoes scrubbed and shredded
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon (3 g) salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon (0.5 g) ground black pepper

Instructions
 

For frozen hash browns:

  • Place the frozen hash browns in the air fryer. There’s no need to spray them with oil.
  • Cook at 400°F for 10 minutes, turning halfway through cooking.

For homemade hash browns:

  • Shred the potatoes either with a box grater or in a food processor. Put them into a colander and run cold water over them for 1 minutes. Allow the colander to drain for a few minutes.
  • Transfer the shredded potatoes to a clean tea towel or paper towel and press them dry. The should be as dry as possible for the crispiest hash browns.
  • Add the shredded potatoes to a mixing bowl. Add the oil, salt and pepper. Mix well.
  • Spray air fryer basket with oil and place potatoes in the basket, pressing into a flat, even layer. Cook at 380°F for 15 minutes, then flip them as well as you can and pat back down. Cook for another 5-10 minutes, until your desired level of crispiness is reached.

Notes

  • You can use store-bought frozen hashbrowns or homemade hashbrowns.
  • There’s no need to flip the hashbrowns, though you can if you don’t think they are crispy enough. I like to flip them and cook more on the second side. The flip doesn’t have to be perfect.
  • You don't need to spray the air fryer basket when using frozen pre-cooked hash brown patties. They already have oil in them.

All air fryers have different wattage and may cook at different rates. You may need to adjust the time or temp for the best results.
