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. Spread some avocado on top of the patty and serve it with an egg on top. If you don't want to read all the stuff in the middle please use the skip to recipe feature at the top of the post.
Another idea for a high-protein breakfast is having a hash brown patty with scrambled eggs and some cottage cheese on side. Make some protein pancakes or warm up some sausages to have on the side.

Tips for Cooking Hash Brown Patties
The brand of frozen hash brown patties I use is from Lyndale Farms and they are only 4 points per hash brown patty. Any frozen hash brown patty will work.
Always cook the hash brown patties from frozen. No oil or spray is needed. They get super crispy in the air fryer.
Place the patties in a single layer do not overlap.
The diced hash browns can be made the same way as the frozen patties. I'd suggest placing something on the bottom of the air fryer basket before cooking.
To cook shredded hash browns place a piece of parchment paper or tinfoil on the bottom of the air fryer basket. Then spread the shredded hash browns over the foil. Spray with a little cooking spray and air fry them for 7 minutes at 375.
How to make Air Fryer Hash Browns
- If your air fryer requires preheating then preheat it. Some do not, some do.
- Add the frozen hash brown patties to the air fryer basket and close it.
- Set the timer for 12 minutes and the temperature to 350.
- 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 air fryers are best?
I've had 3 or 4 different air fryers or the past 5 years and each one of them has worked very well with the air fryer recipes on this site. If you want to be able to cook more food for your family at once then get an air fryer with a large basket such as 5.3 quarts. Look for ones that say nonstick on them and has multiple program settings.
Power XL Air Fryer 5.3 Quart Basket. - This was my very first air fryer.
Our 5.3QT Power Air-Fryer comes in handy in preparing amazing meals from your cookbook, and frying a variety of dishes, such as: French fries, chicken, steak, roasts, fish tacos and sticks, waffle fries, pies, pudding and donuts.
Ninja Foodi Grill and Air Fryer - This air fryer works very well too but the air fryer setting doesn't go below 300 degrees. If there's a recipe that calls for lower temperatures you have to use the bake setting. It air frys, roasts, grills, and dehydrates food.
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.
GoWISE USA 1700-Watt 5.8-QT 8-in-1 Digital Air Fryer
Air fryer temperature settings vary according to brand and model. If your air fryer does not have the exact temperature setting called for in the recipe, consult your manual for suggested temperature settings.
