Ingredients
- 16 ounces frozen hash browns
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Coat the Potatoes: Place the frozen hash browns in a large bowl and drizzle with 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Toss the potatoes thoroughly to ensure each piece is evenly coated with oil.
- Prepare the Air Fryer: Spread the oiled hash browns into an even layer in the air fryer basket. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the top according to your preference for seasoning.
- Initial Air Fry: Set the air fryer to 370°F (188°C) and cook the hash browns for 15 minutes, allowing them to start crisping up evenly.
- Flip and Season: Carefully use a spatula to divide the hash browns into four sections. Flip each section over gently to promote even cooking, then sprinkle with additional salt and pepper if desired.
- Final Crisping: Continue air frying at 370°F for an additional 5 minutes, or until the hash browns reach your preferred level of crispiness.
- Serve: Remove the hash browns from the air fryer and serve immediately to enjoy their crispy texture and warm flavor.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket and cook in batches if necessary.
- You can customize seasoning by adding garlic powder, paprika, or onion powder for additional flavor.
- Use a non-stick spray or slightly more oil if you find the hash browns sticking to the basket.
- If using fresh potatoes instead of frozen, blanch or parboil them briefly before air frying to ensure even cooking.
- The cooking time may vary depending on the model and size of your air fryer, so adjust as needed.
