Equipment
- 1 air fryer
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 grater or food processor
- 1 spatula
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
- 1 parchment paper (optional)
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes About 2 lbs.
- 1 small onion Grated or finely chopped.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Begin by peeling the russet potatoes. Grate them using a grater or a food processor to achieve fine shreds.
- Place the grated potatoes in a mixing bowl. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch, then drain well and pat dry with paper towels.
- Add the grated onion, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the potatoes. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- If desired, line the air fryer basket with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Spread the potato mixture evenly in the air fryer basket, ensuring it's without too much overlap for even cooking.
- Air fry the hash browns for 10 minutes, then pause to shake or flip them to ensure they cook evenly. Return them to the air fryer for an additional 10 minutes until they are crispy and golden brown.
- Once done, remove the hash browns from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm.
Notes
Feel free to add spices or herbs to customize the flavor to your liking.
You can also use other types of potatoes, such as Yukon Gold, for a different texture.
Leftover hash browns can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days and can be reheated in the air fryer or a skillet.
