Ingredients
2largePotatoesPeeled or unpeeled, grated or shredded.
1tablespoonOilOptional, for extra crispiness.
1teaspoonSaltTo taste.
1teaspoonPepperTo taste.
1teaspoonGarlic PowderOptional, for savory depth.
1teaspoonPaprikaOptional, for color and warmth.
Instructions
Grate or shred the potatoes and squeeze out any excess moisture using paper towels. Press firmly to remove as much liquid as you can.
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes with oil and seasonings. Mix well until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Shape the mixture into patties or cubes as desired, pressing them compactly so they hold together.
Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for a few minutes while you arrange the patties.
Place the hash browns in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Once golden brown and crispy, remove from the air fryer and serve immediately.
Notes
Store cooled hash browns in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 360°F (182°C) for 3–5 minutes to restore crispiness.
