Description
Golden, crispy air fryer hash browns made from scratch with Yukon gold potatoes, perfectly seasoned and ready in under 25 minutes.
Ingredients
Yukon gold potatoes, grated
Paprika
Garlic powder
Kosher salt
Black pepper
Nonstick spray
Chives or parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Peel potatoes (optional for Yukon golds) and grate using large holes of a box grater.
- Rinse grated potatoes in cold water until water runs mostly clear, repeating 2–3 times to remove starch.
- Drain and spread on paper towels, patting dry thoroughly.
- In a large bowl, season potatoes with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Spray air fryer basket with nonstick spray. Spread potatoes evenly inside, avoiding large mounds. Lightly spritz the top with spray.
- Air fry at 350°F for 8 minutes. Stir gently, breaking up clumps, then cook another 6–8 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chives or parsley.
Notes
- Russet potatoes yield a more patty-like texture and hold together better.
- Swap regular paprika for smoked paprika for a smoky flavor.
- Add a pinch of cayenne for gentle heat.
- Shredded cheddar can be added in the last few minutes for cheesy hash browns.
- Onion powder or finely diced onions add sweetness and depth.
