Tips for using Air Fryers
The air fryer is so great for cooking simple basic food like air fryer bacon wrapped chicken breast, steak, and eggs. Cook up some air fryer chicken breasts for the week and use the chicken for quesadillas, salads, or DIY chipotle burrito bowls to use for lunch or dinner.
Some air fryers require preheating and some do not. Be sure to check your air fryer manual. If the food ever burns or doesn’t cook properly this could be why the recipe didn’t work for you.
Overcrowding: Do not overcrowd the basket. Place items in a single layer in the air fryer basket or some food will not cook properly or all the way through.
What air fryer do I use? Cosori 4 Qt Air Fryer- This air fryer doesn't require any preheating and has several different functions for cooking chicken, meat, frozen foods, etc. There are 5 different functions.
What to serve with hash brown patties?
- Make it a full-on breakfast feast or brunch board with:
- Scrambled or fried eggs
- Air Fryer Turkey Bacon (Ready in 8 minutes) or Air Fryer Breakfast Sausage
- Protein Yogurt Parfaits
- Breakfast sandwiches — use a hash brown patty as the bun!
Recipe FAQS
Yes, as long as they’re in a single layer. Don’t stack — air circulation is key.
Not required, but a light spray of oil makes them even crispier and restaurant-style.
Always store leftover hash browns in clean, food-grade containers. The type of container doesn’t really matter. Use zip lock, glass, plastic, whatever! Make sure to store any leftovers in an airtight container before putting it in the freezer or fridge.
