-
Prepare the Potatoes:
- Peel and grate the potatoes using a grater or food processor.
- Place the grated potatoes in a kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
-
Combine Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion (if using), olive oil, salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings.
- Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.
-
Cook the Hash Browns:
- Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Spread the potato mixture evenly in the air fryer basket.
- Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the hash browns are golden brown and crispy.
-
Cool and Serve:
- Remove the hash browns from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Serve immediately as a delicious and healthy breakfast side dish.
Notes
- Use the Right Potatoes: Russet potatoes are ideal for hash browns due to their high starch content, which helps them become crispy.
- Season Well: Don’t be afraid to add a good amount of salt and pepper, as well as other seasonings like garlic powder or paprika.
- Cook in a Single Layer: Spread the potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket for even cooking.
- Shake the Basket: Halfway through cooking, shake the air fryer basket to ensure the hash browns cook evenly on all sides.
