These Air Fryer Hash Browns are savory, simple, and so delicious. Made in an air fryer, they have all the great flavor you love in hash browns with none of the grease.
spread the frozen hash browns onto the bottom of your basket air fryer. Then add the garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and olive oil spray. Spray a few good mists over the potatoes to ensure that they all get gold and crispy.
Cook for about 18 minutes making sure to toss and flip every 5 minutes. Tip: to make them extra crispy. Shake them around pretty well every 5 minutes. If you prefer them to have a little bit of softness, then gently flip them with a spatula instead.
Transfer to a serving plate and season with any additional salt if needed.
Notes
Preheat the air fryer- It's important to get the air fryer to temp before adding the hash browns. If they cook at too low a temperature, they will steam rather than fry.
Use an oil mister or spray oil- This method of oiling the potatoes ensures full coverage without drenching the potatoes in oil.
Oil the hash browns before seasoning- Doing this before and after the seasoning helps the spices to adhere to the hash browns, as well as give them a golden brown color when cooked.
Make them to your preferred doneness- To make them extra crispy, shake them around pretty well every 5 minutes. If you prefer them a bit softer, then gently flip them with a spatula instead.
