Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces frozen hash browns
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
