Ingredients
  

  • Frozen Hash Brown Patties: The star of the show! Look for high-quality pre-formed patties in the freezer aisle. They’re a time-saver and deliver consistent results.
  • Cooking Oil Spray optional: A light spritz can help achieve that extra-crispy exterior. Opt for avocado oil or olive oil spray for a healthier touch.
  • Salt and Pepper: Keep it classic or adjust to your taste. These simple seasonings enhance the natural flavor of the potatoes.
  • Your Favorite Seasonings optional: Feeling adventurous? Add a sprinkle of garlic powder, paprika, or even a dash of cayenne for a little kick.

Instructions
 

Step 1: Preheat Your Air Fryer

  • Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat for 3-5 minutes. Preheating ensures even cooking and that signature crunch.

Step 2: Prepare the Patties

  • Place the frozen hash brown patties in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, ensuring they are spread out evenly.Avoid overcrowding—this allows hot air to circulate evenly for maximum crispiness.
  • Lightly spray the patties with cooking oil spray (optional) for an extra-golden finish.

Step 3: Cook to Crispy Perfection

  • Air fry the patties for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through. This ensures both sides get evenly crispy.
  • Monitor the patties closely in the final minutes to avoid over-browning, as cooking times can vary based on your air fryer’s model.

Step 4: Season and Serve

  • Once the patties are golden and crispy, remove them from the air fryer.
  • Sprinkle with salt, pepper, or your favorite seasonings while they’re still hot.
