Air Fryer Hash Browns

One food I’ve been loving lately is frozen hash brown patties in the air fryer. Frozen hash brown patties are simple to cook in your air fryer and they are so crispy on the outside and warm and soft in the middle. No oil needed to make these. I’ll serve the patties with some scrambled eggs and cottage cheese on the side and it makes a great breakfast or dinner combo.

The brand of hash brown patties I use is by Lyndale Farms and they are only 4 points per hash brown patty. 

Of course, you can always make your own hash brown patties by shredded potatoes and shaping them into patties, but I’m lazy and love a good hash brown patty that has already been made. 

Shredded Hashbrowns vs Patties 

One thing I do not recommend is using frozen shredded hash browns in the air fryer. I’ve tried this before and it does not work. At least for me, it doesn’t. The shredded hash browns do not cook evenly. Air fryers cook food via circulating air on the top and the shredded hash browns will just end up flying all over the place unless you have something heavy to hold it down with. 

Frozen patties work better for this because they are a little bit heavier and are already shaped to its size. 

How to make Air Fryer Hash Browns

1. If your air fryer requires preheating then preheat it. Some do not, some do. 
2. Add the frozen hash brown patties to the air fryer basket and close it. 
3. Set the timer for 12 minutes and the temperature to 350. 
4. Please note, all air fryers do not cook food the same so the time above might need to be adjusted to fit your air fryer. 

What are the Best Air Fryers?

There are so many different air fryers out on the market these days and it is hard to pick and choose which one to buy. Every air fryer recipe on this site was tested with a Power XL air fryer. I’ve owned this brand for a very long time now and love it. A lot of questions I get are from people asking me if this works with the brand of air fryer they use. It’s hard to answer that because every air fryer model is different and their temperature and settings can vary. You just have to try it see if it works for you. These are two brands I own.
