Ingredients
Ingredients
- 16 ounces frozen hash browns
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to fully preheat before adding your hash browns. This ensures even cooking from the start.
- Arrange the hash browns: Place the 16 ounces of frozen hash browns evenly in the air fryer basket to promote uniform crisping and avoid overcrowding.
- Season and oil: Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, fine kosher salt, and black pepper evenly over the hash browns. Generously spray them with olive oil spray to help achieve a golden, crispy texture without using excessive oil.
- Air fry and toss: Cook the hash browns in the air fryer for about 30 minutes. Every 5 minutes, pause cooking and toss the hash browns gently with tongs to ensure all sides cook evenly and brown nicely.
- Garnish and serve: Once cooked to crispy perfection, optionally garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and fresh flavor before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, ensure you toss the hash browns frequently every 5 minutes during cooking.
- You can adjust the seasoning to taste by adding smoked paprika or cayenne for a spicy kick.
- If you don’t have olive oil spray, you can lightly brush olive oil or another cooking oil.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model and basket size.
- This recipe makes 4 servings as a side dish portion.
