Ingredients
- 2 medium russet potatoes or 3 cups shredded
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder optional
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder optional
Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash, peel, and shred the potatoes using a box grater or food processor.
- Place the shredded potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
Season the Potatoes:
- Transfer the potatoes to a mixing bowl. Add olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to coat the potatoes evenly.
Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Cook the Hash Browns:
- Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly in a thin layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding.
- Air fry for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Remove the hash browns from the air fryer and let them cool for 1-2 minutes to set the crispiness. Serve warm with your favorite breakfast sides or dipping sauce.
Notes
- Frozen Option: Use frozen hash browns and cook directly at 400°F for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Extra Crispy Tip: Lightly spray the hash browns with cooking spray before air frying.
- Storage: Leftover hash browns can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 3-5 minutes to restore crispiness.
- Flavor Boost: Add grated cheese, fresh herbs, or a sprinkle of paprika for a flavor upgrade.
