Ingredients and Substitutions

• Frozen Hash Brown Patties – Any brand of frozen hash brown patties will work for this recipe. And the best part is that you can cook them straight from frozen without thawing! 

Instructions

Heat the air fryer to 375 degrees. Place frozen hash browns in the tray or air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.

If you want them extra crispy, add a few minutes to the cooking time.

Season to taste with salt (and pepper if you like), serve with ketchup, and enjoy!

Tips

• No need to spray them with cooking oil! These hash browns cook up perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside without the need for a cooking spray, olive oil, or avocado oil.
• Add more cooking time for extra crispy hash browns. A little extra time in the air fryer will take these hash browns from golden brown to extra crispy, so depending on how you prefer your hash browns, play around with the timing to get your preferred crispiness. 
• Serve these hash browns any way you like! Hash browns can be topped with ketchup, shredded cheese, or bacon, and used in breakfast sandwiches with eggs, ham, and toast! These hash browns, like all potato-based foods, are super versatile, so get creative!
• If you want to add extra flavor, try seasoning these hash browns with a sprinkle of garlic powder, onion powder, or dried Italian seasoning!
• If you want to cook lots of hash browns at one time, you may need to cook them in batches. However, with the Instant Vortex (which is the Instant Pot version of an air fryer) you can cook 12 hashbrowns at one time – 6 on each tray.
