- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: After shredding the potatoes, rinse them in cold water to remove excess starch. Squeeze out as much water as possible using a clean kitchen towel.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the shredded potatoes, diced onion (if using), garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Mix well.
- Form the Hash Browns: Shape the mixture into small patties or ovals.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray the basket with non-stick cooking spray.
- Cook the Hash Browns: Arrange the patties in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Serve: Remove the hash browns and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve with ketchup, sour cream, or your favorite dipping sauce.
