Ingredients
- 16 ounces frozen hash browns
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Add frozen hash browns to a large bowl and drizzle with 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Toss thoroughly to evenly coat all the potato shreds with oil.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Spread the oiled hash browns into an even layer inside the air fryer basket. Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly on top to season.
- Initial Cooking: Air fry at 370°F (188°C) for 15 minutes to start crisping and cooking through.
- Flip Hash Browns: Using a spatula, divide the hash browns into 4 sections and carefully flip each section over to promote even cooking and further crisping. Add more salt and pepper if desired.
- Final Crisping: Continue air frying at 370°F for an additional 5 minutes or until your desired level of crispiness is achieved.
- Serve: Remove the crispy hash browns from the air fryer and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the basket—spread the potatoes in a thin, even layer.
- You can season with additional spices like paprika, garlic powder, or cayenne pepper for variety.
- Use fresh or thawed shredded potatoes if you prefer, but cooking times may vary slightly.
- Check on the hash browns in the last few minutes to prevent overcooking or burning.
