Ingredients
- 3 large Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon extra-vergin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 370°F.
- Scrub potatoes clean under water and pat them dry. Using a box grater, carefully shred the potatoes. Add them to a colander and run the shredded potatoes under cold water until the water runs clear (about 10 – 20 seconds).
- Transfer the shredded potatoes to a wad of paper towels or a clean dish towel and firmly press them dry, squeezing out all the excess liquid. For the crispiest hash browns, make sure the potato shreds are as dry as possible.
- Transfer shredded potatoes to a mixing bowl and add olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Spray the inside of your air fryer basket with avocado or olive oil spray. Add seasoned shredded potatoes and use a spatula to spread and press the shreds into an even layer across the basket. The potatoes should be “packed” and NOT loosely spread about the basket.
- Spray the top with extra avocado or olive oil spray and air fry for 12-16 minutes, until golden with crispy edges. No need to flip. Every air fryer is different, so check at the 10-minute mark.
- Remove from the air fryer and enjoy!
Notes
- Olive Oil: Feel free to use avocado oil, melted ghee, or melted butter.
- Garlic Powder: Do not use freshly minced garlic; it will burn in the air fryer.
- Run the shredded potatoes under cold water. This step is super important because it removes the starch from the potatoes and allows the hash browns to cook properly and crispen.
- Use frozen hash browns. If needed, you can certainly use frozen shredded hash browns (found in the freezer section of your grocery store). Just add around 3 cups to a mixing bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, and salt & pepper. Do not allow them to thaw before cooking.
- Don’t overfill your air fryer. All air fryers have different basket sizes. Make sure you don’t overfill your air fryer with seasoned shredded potatoes because they will not cook properly or crisp up. If you have a small air fryer, cook in batches!
- Add onions & bell pepper. Mix things up and add diced onions, bell peppers, or other vegetables to your hash browns for extra flavor and texture. Just cook down the vegetables in a pan for 2 – 4 minutes before adding the potatoes to ensure they’re evenly cooked. You can add up to ½ cup to this recipe.
- Storing: They are best enjoyed within 10 minutes of air frying; however, you can store leftovers for 3 - 4 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
- Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer or oven at 350°F for 4 - 10 minutes or until warm.
