Pro Tips & Tricks
- If necessary, squeeze excess moisture out of shredded potatoes by placing a paper towel over the potatoes and pressing down to squeeze out the water.
- Preheat the air fryer for maximum crispiness.
- Keep leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat leftover hash browns in the air fryer. Chop and add leftover hashbrowns to a cheesy potato soup or have them on some breakfast sliders for extra crunch and flavor.
- Serve with ketchup, cheese sauce, or buffalo sauce.
- Hash browns freeze beautifully! Make twice the batch and freeze patties in between sheets of parchment paper for up to 4 weeks. Reheat from frozen!
