Shredded hash browns in the air fryer are a quick and easy breakfast side dish. This simple recipe produces perfectly crispy and golden brown hash browns that are full of flavor and texture. Plus, using the air fryer means you can enjoy your hash browns without all the extra oil and mess of traditional frying methods.
Prep the hashbrowns. Add hot water to the box of hashbrowns and let sit per box instructions until water is absorbed. Place hashbrowns onto the air fryer tray. Spray with nonstick cooking spray and season with salt and pepper.
Air Fry. Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Cook for 7 minutes then flip and spray with additional cooking spray. Cook for an additional 7-8 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
For more flavor, use butter-flavored cooking spray.
You can also add extra spices, like garlic powder, paprika, seasoning salt, Italian seasoning, or even a touch of Montreal Steak Spice.
Watch these carefully, and don't forget to flip them for the best browning.
Don't overcrowd your pan. If you need more than your pan or basket can hold, work in batches.
