Tips for Cooking Hash Brown Patties

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.

Ingredients Needed 

4 frozen 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.
