What You’ll Need:
- Frozen hash brown patties
- Non-stick cooking spray
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Optional: your favorite spices or seasoning
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes.
- While the air fryer is heating up, prepare your frozen hash brown patties by arranging them in a single layer on a plate or cutting board.
- Lightly spray both sides of the patties with non-stick cooking spray. This will help them achieve that golden crispness.
- Season your hash brown patties with salt, pepper, and any other spices you desire. Get creative and add a dash of paprika, garlic powder, or onion powder for extra flavor.
- Once your air fryer is preheated, place the prepared hash brown patties in the basket. Avoid overcrowding them to ensure even cooking.
- Cook the patties in the air fryer for about 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking process. This will help them cook evenly and become crispy on both sides.
- Keep an eye on the patties as cooking times may vary depending on the size and thickness. Adjust the cooking time accordingly to achieve your desired level of crispness.
- When the hash brown patties are golden brown and crispy, carefully remove them from the air fryer using tongs or a spatula.
- Let them cool for a minute or two before serving. This will ensure they retain their crispiness.
- Serve your freshly air-fried hash brown patties as a delicious side dish alongside your favorite breakfast items or as a tasty snack on their own.
Now you can enjoy perfectly cooked hash brown patties with a delightful crunch, thanks to your air fryer. Whether you’re looking for a quick breakfast option or a satisfying snack, air frying is a game-changer for frozen hash browns.
