Ready for the crispiest, crunchiest hash browns ever? These air fryer hash browns are made from scratch with just 3 ingredients plus an optional fourth and make a perfect addition to your brunch or breakfast. Made from scratch using fresh shredded potatoes, with no frozen ingredients here. It’s the perfect addition to your breakfast spread with an oil free option, too!
You’re going to LOVE these air fryer hash browns! Just like my Buffalo cauliflower and air fryer carrots, these bad boys are flavour packed, crispy and delicious! Pair them with fluffy pancakes, fresh fruit and all your favourites for the ultimate breakfast! I’m sure we’ve all had deep fried hash browns at some point in our lives right? Now you can have ALL that crispiness and deliciousness with FAR less oil, and I even have an oil free option for you too. Then shred your potatoes using a box shredder into a plate, cutting board, or directly into a large mixing bowl to save an extra dish to wash. Next, you’ll cover the potato shreds in cold water, give it a stir and let them sit for about 20 minutes.
Then drain in a colander and rinse with cold water. NOTE: This process removes the starch, resulting in crispy air fryer hash browns later, so do not skip. Add your seasoning and the oil, if using, and mix well. Then transfer the shreds to your basket. Use a silicone spatula to gently separate the edges if needed, and then lift it out. Enjoy with all your favourite breakfast foods or as a side dish. One round hash brown easily serves 2 with a generous portion or you may cut into 4 triangular slices.
I kind of like this messy look! If you’re using a smaller air fryer basket, they will cook faster. Start checking around the 12-15 minute mark and cook until desired crispiness is reached. For smaller models you may need to work in two batches. If using the optional onion powder in your air fryer hash brows, you’ll have onion flavour of course.
If onion is not your thing, feel free to omit it. Or you may sub the onion powder for another flavour, if preferred. If you’re avoiding oil and using a non stick basket, this recipe also works without the oil. I tried it in my Ninja Foodi and it does not stick. Use a silicone spatula to gently separate the edges and it will remove easily.
Please note that it will be slightly less crispy this way. Expert Tips for the Crispiest Hash Browns Don’t skip the soaking. Soaking the potatoes in cold water helps remove the starch which will result in crispier potatoes. So make sure to soak for 20 minutes and also rinse them afterward. Again, for maximum crispiness, make sure the potato shreds are dried well.
Use a clean dish towel to squeeze out the liquid. Spread the potatoes in an even layer to get them evenly crisped. Thicker spots may not crisp up as much. If you tried this recipe, please let me know about it in the comments below.
