Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces frozen hash browns
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes: Place the frozen hash browns in a mixing bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss well to ensure all the potatoes are evenly coated with the oil for better crisping during cooking.
  2. Arrange in air fryer: Spread the oiled hash browns in an even layer inside the air fryer basket to allow hot air circulation and even cooking. Sprinkle with salt and pepper evenly to season.
  3. Initial air frying: Air fry the hash browns at 370°F (188°C) for 15 minutes. This time allows the potatoes to begin crisping up and cooking through.
  4. Flip and season again: Using a spatula, break the hash browns gently into 4 sections for easier flipping. Carefully flip each section over to crisp the other side. Optionally add more salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Final air frying: Continue cooking the hash browns at 370°F for another 5 minutes or until they are as crispy as desired, ensuring a golden brown texture.
  6. Serve: Remove the hash browns from the air fryer and serve immediately while hot and crispy for best texture.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can increase the air fryer time by a few minutes but watch closely to avoid burning.
  • If using fresh potatoes, be sure to shred and dry them well before air frying.
  • Adjust seasoning according to taste, adding spices like paprika or garlic powder if preferred.
