Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
You will need an air fryer and a cheese grater (for shredding the potatoes).
Russet potatoes are our preference because they’re high in starch which helps to give the hash browns a crispy exterior. The peppers and garlic powder are key in providing that savory flavor kick, while the olive oil is there to lock in the moisture and give it that nice crisp on the outside.
How To Make Air Fryer Hash Browns Made From Scratch In Just 15 Minutes
- Begin by peeling the potatoes and using your cheese grater to shred the potatoes into thin pieces.
- Next, get rid of any excess moisture by dabbing the potatoes with a towel. This is crucial for achieving that perfect crunch.
- Toss your potato shreds in a bowl with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, getting them nicely coated
- Then transfer your mixture into the air fryer. Set it to 400 degrees and let them cook for about 10 minutes. Make sure to flip them halfway through.
- The hash browns are ready when they carry a lovely golden brown color and are crispy to the touch
Tips For The Best Results
- Ensure you dab the shredded potatoes dry. This helps to achieve a crisper final product.
- Flip the hash browns halfway through. This ensures an even cook and optimal crisping.
Storage Tips
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container and reheated in the air fryer for a quick breakfast.
