Ingredients
- 16 ounces frozen hash browns
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Place the frozen hash browns in a large bowl and drizzle with 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Toss them thoroughly to ensure each piece is lightly coated with oil for even crisping.
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Spread the coated hash browns into an even layer inside the air fryer basket. Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over the surface to season the potatoes before cooking.
- Initial Air Fry: Cook the hash browns in the air fryer at 370°F (188°C) for 15 minutes. This initial cooking phase helps the potatoes begin to crisp up.
- Flip and Season: Using a spatula, carefully divide the hash browns into four sections and flip each piece over to promote even browning. Optionally, sprinkle additional salt and pepper at this point.
- Final Air Fry: Continue cooking the hash browns at 370°F for another 5 minutes or until they achieve the desired level of crispiness.
- Serve: Remove the hash browns from the air fryer and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation.
- You can add other seasonings like paprika, garlic powder, or onion powder for flavor variations.
- Use a non-stick spray or parchment liner designed for air fryers to prevent sticking if desired.
- Check the hash browns halfway through the initial cook time to shake or stir if required for smaller air fryers.
