Air Fryer Hash Brown Patties are a crispy, delightful side dish or main breakfast attraction, made with minimal effort and time! Whether you're preparing a quick breakfast for a busy day ahead or looking for a simple yet satisfying snack, these delicious hash browns will not disappoint!
Begin by preheating your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Once your air fryer is preheated, you have two options for preparing your basket to ensure the hash browns do not stick. You can either spray the basket lightly with a non-stick spray such as avocado oil or line the basket with parchment paper. If using parchment paper, ensure it is the type designed for air fryers, with holes to allow for airflow. This not only prevents sticking but also makes for an easy cleanup process. 4 Hash Brown Patties
Place 4 to 6 frozen hash brown patties into the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overlapping. This is important for even cooking and achieving that desired crispiness on all sides.
Air fry the frozen hash browns for 5 minutes.
Then, carefully flip the hash browns over and continue to air fry for an additional 5-7 minutes or until they are crispy and golden brown around the edges.
Once your hash brown patties have reached a golden, crispy perfection, remove them from the air fryer and serve immediately. They are best enjoyed hot, offering a crispy outside and soft, warm inside. Serve them as part of a hearty breakfast, as a side dish, or even as a snack.
Notes
Storage
Store: Place cooled leftover hash browns in an airtight container or wrap individually in aluminum foil or plastic wrap, and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 400°F for 2-3 minutes.
Freeze: Cool the cooked hash browns to room temperature, arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and freeze for 2 hours or until solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container and freeze for up to 3 months. Air fry directly from frozen at 400°F for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through the cook time, until crispy and heated through.
