A quick and easy recipe for crispy hash browns made in the air fryer without any oil, delivering a golden, crunchy texture with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 ounces (450 grams) frozen shredded potatoes
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • Non-stick cooking spray or a light brush of water (optional)

Instructions

  1. Thaw and drain potatoes for 5-10 minutes by letting frozen shredded potatoes thaw slightly or submerging in cold water to release starch.
  2. Remove excess moisture by wrapping potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeezing out as much liquid as possible (3-5 minutes).
  3. Mix seasonings by transferring dried potatoes to a bowl and adding salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and baking powder. Toss well to coat evenly (2 minutes).
  4. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
  5. Arrange potatoes in a thin, even layer inside the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Lightly mist with non-stick spray or water if desired (2 minutes).
  6. Cook first side at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping potatoes halfway through for even browning.
  7. Cook second side for an additional 5-7 minutes until hash browns are golden and crispy, watching closely to avoid burning.
  8. Remove hash browns carefully and serve immediately for best texture.

Notes

Pressing out moisture from the potatoes is key to achieving crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation. Baking powder helps create a lighter, crispier texture. If hash browns are not crispy enough, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, checking frequently. Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 375°F for 3-5 minutes to restore crispness.
