Ingredients
Hash Browns
- 1 pound Russet potatoes, peeled and shredded
- Olive oil spray
- 1 tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes: Peel and shred the Russet potatoes using a cheese grater. Place the shredded potatoes in paper towels and squeeze out all the excess moisture to ensure crispiness during cooking.
- Preheat and prepare air fryer: Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil spray to prevent sticking. Spread the shredded potatoes evenly in one layer inside the basket.
- Season the potatoes: Lightly spray the shredded potatoes with olive oil spray. Sprinkle sea salt, garlic powder, and black pepper evenly over the potatoes.
- First air fry: Cook the potatoes in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 6 minutes, allowing them to start crisping and browning.
- Flip and continue cooking: Carefully flip the potatoes to promote even cooking. If needed, cut the hash browns into smaller pieces to make flipping easier. Air fry for an additional 6 minutes at the same temperature until golden and crispy.
- Serve: Remove the crispy hash browns from the air fryer and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Make sure to squeeze out as much water as possible from shredded potatoes to achieve crispy texture.
- If your air fryer basket is small, cooking in batches may be necessary to avoid overcrowding.
- Adjust seasoning to taste or add herbs like fresh parsley for extra flavor.
- For extra crispiness, you can increase air frying time by a couple of minutes based on your air fryer model.
