Air Fryer Frozen Hashbrowns

I always try to make my own hashbrowns from scratch for family breakfast because my kids absolutely love it. The only problem is it can be pretty time-consuming and I just don’t always have the time to shred the potatoes from scratch. For times like that, I typically try to keep a bag or two of frozen hashbrowns in my freezer.

Between the frozen hashbrowns and using the air fryer to cook them, I’ve cut my breakfast prep time by almost half!

And, I have to admit- Cooking the frozen hashbrowns in the air fryer has not only been life-changing but they taste just as amazing as when I make them from scratch! They turn out perfectly crispy and crunchy every time.

After about 5 minutes, mix the hashbrowns with a spatula to make sure nothing is sticking to the bottom of the air fryer basket. Then, place the basket back into the air fryer.

After another 5 minutes, mix the hashbrowns again and place the air fryer basket back into the air fryer and let them finish cooking.

Remove the cooked hashbrowns from the air fryer and season with salt and pepper to taste.

    I made these this morning and it turned out excellent. I used Avocado spray to mix with the potatoes and cooked 17 minutes. I followed the directions but did use an aluminum pie plate in the airfryer. Now the only way I will ever cook hashbrowns.
