Tips For The Best Cooking The Hash Brown

• Can air fried frozen hash brown patties be cooked in an air fryer? Yes! There are so many different sizes of patties to choose from. In addition, each air fryer cooks differently. As a result, you’ll need to adjust the time and temperature accordingly. Simply follow the temperature guidelines below and keep an eye on the potatoes.
• Once you cook your first batch, you’ll know what is the best time for your style of air fryer.
• These only work with patties, not hash browns that have been shredded. Because they’ve already been cooked, the pre-cooked hash brown patties work great and are quick to prepare.
• There’s no need to use any best oil spray. They cook crisply without the use of any additional oil. If you want an extra crispy crust, you can spray it with oil, but most brands we’ve tried don’t require it.
• Cook from Frozen. You don’t need to thaw them first.
• Put them in a Single Even Layer. Don’t overlap them in the air fryer basket/tray or else they won’t cook as evenly.
• See recipe box below for the cooking details.

What About Air Frying Shredded Hash Browns?

If you want to use the shredded style hash browns here’s what we suggest:

• Allow the shredded hash browns to thaw completely and remove excess moisture.
• Create small, very flat patties. The flatter they are, the quicker and crisper they’ll cook in the air fryer.
• Add a liberal amount of oil to both sides of the shredded hash brown patties.
• Air fry at the temperature recommended below in the recipe box. You might have to cook them a little longer so they can cook all the way through.
• Also, make sure they’re crispy on top before you flip them. Yes, you have to flip them so they can brown and crisp on both sides.

So, Here you go!
