Air Fryer Hashbrown Patties

Do I need to preheat my air fryer?

Generally speaking, yes, your air fryer needs to be preheated just like your oven. The good news is that it will only take about 5 minutes to preheat it fully, just set it to the temperature you will be cooking at and set the timer to 5 minutes.

Which oil is best to use in an air fryer?

Use full-fat cooking oil with a high smoke point or a non-aerosol oil spray in your air fryer. Low-fat oils aren’t good for your air fryer, but since you’re only using a small amount of oil it’s generally a healthier way of cooking foods anyway. Avocado oil, vegetable oil, and canola oil are all good options. Try and find a decent cooking spray version of your favorite oil to easily coat the basket evenly in oil.

Can I cook fresh hash browns in the air fryer?

Of course! Cook your freshly made hashbrowns in the air fryer, in the same way. Cooking time may vary depending on how cooked the potatoes were before air frying them.

How do I store hash brown patties?

Leftover hash browns can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Allow them to cool to room temperature before putting them in the fridge.
You can reheat them in the air fryer to crisp them back up.

Tips and Notes

• Cooking oil spray. You don’t need a lot of oil to cook in the air fryer. Getting a decent cooking oil spray is a great way to evenly spread a little oil over the air fryer basket without having to brush or wipe it on.
• Parchment paper. You can line your air fryer basket with parchment paper if you wish, for super easy cleanup. Use air fryer parchment paper that has holes in it that will let the hot air of the air fryer circulate.
• Give them space. For best results, make sure to put some space in between your hashbrown patties so that the air can circulate through them and they cook evenly

Air Fryer Hashbrown Patties Variations

• Seasoning. Add seasonings to suit your personal preference. I would recommend at least adding a bit of salt, but you could so add garlic powder, onion powder, or spices like paprika or chili powder to bring a bit of extra flavor and a bit of a kick to your cooked breakfast!
• Homemade Hash Browns. Making your own homemade hash browns is super simple (you need fresh potatoes and a box grater!), and it means you can mix your seasonings straight into the potatoes.
• Hashbrown Pancakes. Use a deconstructed hashbrown mix (basically just frozen shredded potatoes) to make a hashbrown in a pancake shape in your air fryer. Simply pour the hashbrown mix into the bottom of the air fryer basket in an even layer and increase the cooking time to about 20 minutes.
