TIPS FOR MAKING CRISPY AIR FRYER HASH BROWN PATTIES

  • TO GET THEM EXTRA CRISPY– I cooked mine at exactly 10 minutes, and flipped them over at the 5 minute mark. If you like extra crispy hash browns, add an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • SKIP THE OIL-There is no need to coat the hash brown patties with olive oil because they are already cooked and will have some oil on them. If they aren’t crisping up to your liking, you can give them a quick spritz of a little cooking spray halfway through air frying.
  • ADD EXTRA MINUTES OR TWO-Keep in mind, because there are so many types of air fryer models, cooking times may vary. The first time you make hash browns, you may want to start your cook time with 8-10 minutes and then add 2-3 minutes.

MAKING HASH BROWNS IN THE AIR FRYER FROM SCRATCH

If you don’t have frozen hash browns and want to make homemade hash browns, grab some Yukon gold or russet potatoes, shred them using a box grater or food processor, then soak them in a large bowl in ice cold water to remove the starches.

Drain the potatoes, and try to remove as much water as possible by squeezing the shredded potatoes in a paper towel. Form into patties, then spray with olive oil spray or avocado oil, season with your favorite spices, then air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.

FAQS FOR MAKING HASH BROWNS IN THE AIR FRYER

Store leftover patties in an airtight container for 2-3 days. To reheat hash browns, repeat the cooking process, but cut the cooking time to 5 minutes.
