    Air fryer hash browns are a quick and convenient breakfast or snack option. Put them from frozen into your air fryer and have a crispy, healthy snack in no time. Or do them from scratch.

    I pair them with air fryer soft boiled eggs and air fryer roasted vegetables. Delightful!

    There are days when I am in no mood to cook from scratch. These frozen hash browns come in real handy then. You can try these air fryer shredded hash browns from scratch.

    When buying a pack, do scan the ingredients to ensure that you are not picking up anything processed or unhealthy. Or make them from scratch.

    Stepwise Pictures

    Take frozen patties in a plate.

    Preheat air fryer at 200 C or 390 F for 4 minutes.

    Lay the hash brown patties in one layer. I normally cook 5-6 in one batch but you can easily do 3-4 too.

    Air fry at 200 C or 390 F for about 12-14 minutes till they are golden brown. You can air fry till 14 minutes for a nice brown appearance.

    You can flip the patties once in the middle. Though I have cooked them without flipping and they turn out just as good.

    Keep checking on them after 10 minutes to see how crisp they look. The time may vary a bit depending upon your air fryer as well as the size of the hash browns.

    I can make 6 patties at one go. For my family of 4 I do 2 batches. Do check out the video for better understanding.

    FAQs

    1. Should I thaw frozen hash browns before cooking in air fryer?

    You really do not need to thaw hash browns when cooking in air fryer. They turn out perfectly crispy and beautiful.

    2. Do I need to add oil to cook frozen hash browns?

    Frozen hash browns are already precooked and have oil in them. When cooking in air fryer, you don’t need to add any additional oil to them.

    Notes

    1. You do not need to add any oil while cooking since frozen hash browns already have oil in them. I always check the nutrition label and pick a brand that use low oil. 2. You can air fry for a couple of minutes more in case you want them to be darker. 3. I can cook 6 patties at one go in my Philips basket type air fryer, but you can easily cook 3-4 patties at one time too. There wasn’t much of time difference when doing a smaller batch. Just a minute or two less works. 4. If you do not preheat your air fryer, then you will need more time for the first batch. 5. The recipe for from scratch hash brown patties is shared as well in the notes. 6. You can use leftover mashed potato for making potato patties too.
