Air Fryer Hash Browns
Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen shredded hash browns no need to thaw
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder optional
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder optional
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
2. Prepare the Hash Browns:
- In a large bowl, toss frozen hash browns with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- For a crispier result, lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
3. Cook the Hash Browns:
- Spread the hash browns evenly in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding for even cooking.
- Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even crispiness.
- If you prefer extra crispy hash browns, add 2-3 more minutes of cooking time.
4. Serve:
- Transfer the crispy hash browns to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve hot with ketchup, hot sauce, or your favorite breakfast sides.
Notes
- For Extra Flavor: Add a pinch of paprika or a sprinkle of shredded cheese before serving.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 3-4 minutes to maintain crispiness.
- Make It Your Own: Mix in diced onions, bell peppers, or chopped herbs before air frying for a loaded hash brown variation.
