Crispy Air Fryer Hash Browns
These Air Fryer Hash Browns are crispy on the outside and take 10 minutes to prepare.
Servings: 4 portions
Calories: 147kcal
Ingredients
- 500 g potatoes grated (see further up the blog for more information on which potatoes to choose)
- ½ white onion or shallot, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon flaky salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 egg (see further up the blog for a vegan alternative)
- 4 tablespoon self-raising flour (see further up the blog for gluten-free alternative)
Instructions
- Grate your potatoes and then drain of any excess water. Squeeze to really remove that liquid. Set aside in a large bowl.
- To the same bowl, add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, salt and pepper. Give it a good mix with a fork until well combined.
- Add in the egg and the flour. Stir once again with the fork until well combined. The mixture should be lightly bound but not wet or gloopy. It should be easily shapeable! So add more flour if need be!
- Form the mixture into 4 hashbrowns, or into 6 thinner hashbrowns. Do this by lightly wetting your hands (this helps form the patties). Get a quarter (or ⅙) of the batter and form into a ball in your hands, then lightly pat down to create little oval or rectangular patties.
- Place in the air fryer at 240C / 460F for 5-10 minutes to crisp up the outside of the hashbrowns. Then reduce the temperature to 160C/320F and cook for another 25 minutes. Flip halfway through for even cooking.
- Once the hash browns are golden on the outside and soft and cooked on the inside, remove from the air fryer and serve up still warm. Optionally top with mayonnaise and chives, or serve them with the rest of your meal.

Top Tip! Every air fryer is different, so adjust the temperature and timing if you feel like your air fryer is temperamental.
