Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F.
  2. Prepare the potatoes:If using freshly shredded potatoes, soak the potatoes in water for 10-15 minutes to remove the starch (this will result in crispy hash browns). Then drain the water and squeeze out as much water as possible. Pat the potatoes dry with a paper towel.If using frozen shredded potatoes, defrost the potatoes by soaking it in water for a few minutes. Drain and squeeze out all the water. Pat the potatoes dry with a paper towel.
  3. Season the hash browns: In a large (dry) bowl, add onion powder, olive oil, salt and pepper to the potatoes. Mix well.
  4. Cook the hash browns: Grease the bottom of the air fryer tray with olive oil. Fill the air fryer tray with the shredded potatoes. Use your hands or a spatula to press down and shape the hash browns. Spray cooking spray on top of the hash browns. Air fry the hash browns for 16-20 minutes, until golden brown.

Notes

  • For Extra Crispy Hash Browns:
  • Soak the shredded potatoes in water for at least 10-15 to remove the starch.
  • Squeeze as much water out of the potatoes as possible. Use paper towels to dry the potatoes and the bowl.
  • Evenly spread the layer of hash browns into the air fryer so that it all gets cooked evenly. Thinner parts will burn and thicker parts will not crisp up.
