    Air fryer hash browns or air fryer hash potatoes turn out perfect every time! Nice and crisp on the outside yet tender on the inside. They are so easy to make because you can cook them from frozen and they are ready in just 25 minutes.

    Why you'll love this recipe:

    • These hash browns are so easy to make because they are cooked from frozen. No need to thaw the diced potatoes first! It will save you so much time.
    • They have the perfect texture. Nice and crisp on the outside yet tender on the inside. Just how fried potatoes should be.
    • The clean up is so simple that you'll never want to cook hash browns any other way again.
    • They are really versatile and can be spiced however you like. They can be eaten with breakfast, brunch or as a side dish with lunch or dinner.
    • If you love air fryer hash browns you will love air fryer diced potatoes too! 

    Ingredients:

    • A bag of frozen diced hash browns. Any brand will do! I personally use unseasoned diced hash browns but you can get pre-seasoned ones too. 

    How to make: 

    Step one:

    First, place the frozen hash browns on the trays of your air fryer or in the basket.

    Step two:

    Cook the frozen diced potatoes for 25-27 minutes at 400F, ensuring you rotate the trays half way through, or give the hash browns a toss if you have a basket style air fryer.

    Step three:

    Lastly, transfer the cooked hash browns to a bowl and toss them in the oil, salt and pepper. Then enjoy!

    Chef's tips:

    • Every model of air fryer is different so you may have to adjust the cooking time depending on the model you use. 
    • Depending on the size of your hash browns you may need to adjust the cooking time. If you have very finely chopped hash browns I recommend decreasing the cooking time. 
    • Store these hash browns in the fridge in an air tight container for up to 5 days.
    • If you don't cook the full bag of frozen hash browns, seal the bag and store it in the freezer until you are ready to use. 
    • If you have any leftover cooked hash browns, store them in the fridge in an air tight container for up to 5 days. 

    Variations: 

    • If you buy pre-seasoned and pre-oiled hash browns you likely won't need to use the oil or salt and pepper.
    • Feel free to add other spices such as ground cinnamon, chili powder, Italian seasoning etc to give these hash browns a different flavour.

    What to serve with hash browns:

    • A chicken omlette
    • Bacon and veggie casserole
    • Healthy turkey burgers
    • Air fryer sausages

    Frequently asked questions:

    How long do you cook hash browns in the air fryer?

    It takes 25 minutes to cook frozen diced hash browns in air fryer at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. 

    Can I put frozen hash browns in air fryer?

    Yes! Frozen hash browns cook perfectly in the air fryer and take less time than cooking them in the oven. 

    Can I reheat hash browns in an air fryer? 

    Absolutely! Simply reheat them for 1-2 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit in the air fryer when you are ready to eat them again. 

    Are hash browns gluten free?

    Yes! Potatoes are gluten free. Just be sure that any seasonings added to the hash browns are gluten free too.
