Air fryer frozen hashbrowns cook time is fast and come out perfectly tender, but crispy on the outside. How to cook frozen hash browns shredded and patties is here.

Air Fryer Frozen Hashbrowns Recipe

If you don’t have time to make homemade air fryer hash browns with potatoes, this is the ultimate answer to the perfect breakfast. Smother with cheese or just with ketchup these go with egg bites perfectly.

Pop this bag or patties in the Ninja Foodi or air machine while you get to frying that bacon and enjoy with your family this week. You can just season with salt and pepper or melt a bit of shredded cheese on the top for a heartier feel good start to the day.

If you haven’t these right out of the freezer before it is really a game changer. NO need to remember to defrost anything anymore. We use them for more than just breakfast. Our most popular using the same brand is our Crockpot Potato Soup with Frozen Hashbrowns for dinner!

Ingredients

1. Shredded or frozen hashbrowns patties
   1. I have instructions for cubed style at the bottom of this post too
2. Olive oil spray to brown the outsides
3. Salt and pepper and/or other seasonings

Variations

If you want to add some shredded cheese at the end that is a great add in. You could toss bacon bits into the mixture too if you wanted to as well.

This is easy side dish great to buy in bulk and pull out when you have the opportunity to eat together. That has become a priority in our house.

Just snip open the bag like you do with air fryer frozen chicken nuggets and throw those babies in for a quick snack. So much better than using a microwave, this is a great appliance to take for quick rv meals too.

in Ninja Foodi

You can use any brand you might have at home. I have a few of them, an AirWave, NuWave, Instant Pot air fryer is new and the foodi has many functions to it. You use air crisp on the Foodi with the lid that is attached.

You can see which I bought here. Like I said, there isn’t a ton of difference when it comes to shredded and/or diced potatoes. Unless there is some special seasoning on it they are basically all the same. Frozen shredded potato recipes are pretty bland, it’s up to you to amp them up really.

How to Cook Frozen Shredded Hashbrowns in Air Fryer

• If you’re using shredded you’ll want to preheat air fryer.
• Spray inside of the air fryer basket with olive oil spray.
• Pour inside (with patties don’t overlap them). Spray top with olive oil spray too and season with salt and pepper.
• Air fry 20 minutes cook time total for shredded
• Flip them over halfway thru the time.

with Hashbrown Patties

Both of these varieties will brown nicely on the outside, if you want them browner just spray again and add 2 minutes. Patties just take 9 minutes as long as you lay them in a single layer without overlapping.

You can sprinkle salt and pepper on the top of them at the beginning, and again after you flip them. Typically I will add even more when they’re served too with ketchup. If you want to sprinkle some shredded cheese on top that is a real winner. Do this during the last 2 minutes so it can melt and crisp up just a bit.

There is a printable recipe card at the bottom of this post complete with nutritional information. You should refer to the back of the bag or package for accurate amounts though. All brands are slightly different but you’ll absolutely love any of them cooked this way.

If you want to make cubed air fryer breakfast potatoes instead of these styles, follow these instructions instead. Those have a bit more texture because they are larger than their counterpart. It does take a little longer because of that but fun to make both and give guests the choice of either.
