Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 cups Yukon potatoes, peeled and grated

Seasonings

  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Other

  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • Chives or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep Potatoes: Peel the Yukon potatoes and grate them using the large holes of a box grater for optimal texture.
  2. Rinse Potatoes: Place the grated potatoes in a bowl of cold water and rinse repeatedly until the water runs clear to remove excess starch, which helps achieve crispiness.
  3. Dry Potatoes: Drain the potatoes well and spread them out on paper towels. Pat them thoroughly dry to remove any remaining moisture.
  4. Season: Transfer the dried potatoes to a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
  5. Prepare Air Fryer: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  6. Cook First Round: Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly in the air fryer basket and spray lightly with cooking spray or oil. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 8 minutes to start the cooking process.
  7. Stir: Carefully open the basket and gently stir the potatoes, breaking up any clumps to ensure even cooking and crisping on all sides.
  8. Cook Second Round: Return the basket to the air fryer and continue air frying for an additional 6-8 minutes until the hash browns are golden, crisp, and cooked through.
  9. Serve: Plate the crispy hash browns and garnish with chopped chives or parsley for a fresh finish. Serve warm alongside eggs or your favorite breakfast dishes.

Notes

  • Rinsing the grated potatoes is essential to remove surface starch and achieve crispy hash browns.
  • Be sure to dry the potatoes thoroughly to prevent sogginess.
  • If you don’t have nonstick spray, lightly brush the air fryer basket with oil.
  • Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model.
  • For added flavor, consider adding finely chopped onions or a pinch of smoked paprika.
