Ingredients
- 16 ounces frozen hash browns
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Coat the hash browns: Place the frozen hash browns in a large bowl and drizzle with 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Toss thoroughly to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with the oil.
- Prepare the air fryer basket: Spread the oiled hash browns into an even layer inside your air fryer basket. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the top according to your taste preferences.
- Initial air frying: Set your air fryer to 370°F (188°C) and cook the hash browns for 15 minutes to start crisping up the edges.
- Flip the hash browns: Using a spatula, carefully divide the hash browns into 4 equal sections and flip each section over. This helps them cook evenly on both sides. Optionally, sprinkle additional salt and pepper now for extra seasoning.
- Finish air frying: Return the basket to the air fryer and cook for an additional 5 minutes at 370°F, or until the hash browns reach your desired crispness.
- Serve immediately: Once cooked, remove the hash browns from the air fryer and serve hot for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Make sure the hash browns are spread evenly in the basket for uniform cooking.
- Flipping the hash browns halfway through ensures even crisping on both sides.
- You can adjust salt and pepper quantities to your taste preferences.
- Using cooking spray instead of olive oil can make this recipe lower in fat.
- If you prefer extra crispy hash browns, you can extend the final air fry time by a few minutes but watch carefully to prevent burning.
