Tips For Perfect Hash Browns
Here are some tips to having success with air fryer hash browns. I had to make these a few times to get it just right. You will definitely want to keep these tips in mind so you can achieve that perfect crisp.
- Frozen Hash Browns: Always make sure that you use frozen and pre-shredded hashbrowns. Fresh hashbrowns result in soggy potatoes!
- Don’t Overcrowd: Your hash browns should be layered evenly in the air fryer basket. Overcrowding the potatoes won’t cook them evenly. If you buy a bigger bag of hash browns, then make sure to cook them in batches because you won’t be able to cook them all at the same time.
- Do Not Thaw: Use the frozen hash browns straight from the freezer because you don’t need to thaw the frozen potatoes first.
- Flip: Flip the hash browns halfway through the cooking process. This allows the hash browns to crisp up because it helps to cook them evenly on both sides, then use a spatula to help you flip the potatoes.
- Adjust Time: You may need to adjust the cooking time on your air fryer because other brands can cook differently. If you need to cook them longer, then just add 1-2 minutes until it reaches your desired crispness.
Leftovers Hash Browns
Leftover air fryer hash browns can be easily reheated and enjoyed the next day. Follow the instructions below for storing and reheating your hash browns.
- In the Refrigerator: Store leftover hash browns in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
- To Reheat: Preheat your air fryer to 370 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the refrigerated hash browns in the air fryer basket and cook for 5 minutes, or until warmed through. Enjoy!
