Air Fryer Hash Browns
Make the best crispy air fryer hash browns with fresh or frozen potatoes! They take less than 20 minutes for a quick and easy breakfast side!
Servings: 3 servings
Ingredients
- Olive oil spray
- 4 cups frozen hash browns or 3 medium russet potatoes
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
Frozen hash browns
- Generously spray or brush the bottom of the air fryer basket with oil. Then, spread the frozen hash browns evenly and use a spatula to divide the potatoes into 4 sections. This will help to evenly brown your hash browns.
- Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and onion powder, and then drizzle the top with more oil or spray.
- Cook at 400°F for 15 minutes, or until the edges are crisp and golden, and then carefully flip each section. Continue air frying for another 4–5 minutes until crispy.
Fresh hash browns
- Cut potatoes into quarters if using a food processor. If you prefer the skin off, do this first.
- Use a food processor with the shredding disc attachment or a box grater to shred the potatoes. Place the shredded potatoes in cold water and soak for 10–15 minutes to remove excess starch. This will help them crisp up while cooking.
- Transfer to a colander to drain the water. Rinse them very well before transferring the shredded potatoes to paper towels or a clean dish towel to dry them completely. Transfer back to the bowl and season with salt, pepper, and onion powder, and toss lightly to combine.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Generously spray or brush the bottom of the air fryer basket with oil and spread the shredded potatoes evenly. Use a spatula to divide the potatoes into 4 sections, and then drizzle the top with more oil or spray.
- Cook for 10 minutes and then carefully flip each section. Continue air frying for another 4–5 minutes until crispy.
Notes
My Top Tip: Don't crowd the air fryer basket. Spread the shredded potatoes into a thin, even layer. If they're too crowded, the hash browns will steam, not crisp. Cook in batches if necessary!
Storage: Store the hash browns in an airtight container in the fridge for 2–3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to crisp them back up again.
