Ingredients
Hash Browns
- 16 ounces frozen hash browns
Seasonings
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Olive oil spray, as needed
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F and allow it to fully preheat to ensure even cooking of the hash browns.
- Prepare the Hash Browns: Place the frozen hash browns evenly in the air fryer basket, spreading them out to avoid overcrowding for optimal crispiness.
- Season: Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and black pepper evenly over the hash browns. Generously spray the surface with olive oil spray to promote browning and crisp texture.
- Air Fry: Cook the hash browns for about 30 minutes, stirring or tossing them with tongs every 5 minutes to ensure they cook evenly and achieve a golden crisp all around.
- Serve: Once crispy and golden, optionally garnish with chopped parsley for freshness and serve immediately.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Tossing the hash browns every 5 minutes is essential to prevent sticking and to promote even browning.
- You can add other seasonings like paprika or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
- If olive oil spray is not available, lightly brushing with olive oil works as well.
- This recipe is great for a quick breakfast side or snack and pairs well with eggs and bacon.
