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.

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 allow to 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.
