Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Paper Towels

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 large Potatoes Peeled or unpeeled, grated or shredded.
  • 1 tablespoon Oil Optional, for extra crispiness.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt To taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper To taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Optional, for savory depth.
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika Optional, 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.
