Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes:
- 2 lbs russet potatoes
- 1 medium onion
Seasonings:
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
Oil and Binding:
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash and peel russet potatoes, then use a box grater or food processor to shred them into fine, uniform strands.
- Transfer shredded potatoes into a clean kitchen towel and vigorously squeeze out excess moisture, ensuring the potatoes are as dry as possible.
- Finely dice onion and combine with the drained potato shreds in a large mixing bowl.
- Incorporate salt, black pepper, and garlic powder into the potato-onion mixture, tossing to distribute seasonings evenly.
- Whisk egg and olive oil together, then pour over the seasoned potato mixture, followed by sprinkling flour to help bind ingredients.
- Gently mix all components until thoroughly combined, creating a cohesive potato mixture.
- Preheat air fryer to 375°F and lightly coat the basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Form potato mixture into compact patties, pressing firmly to ensure they hold together during cooking.
- Arrange hash brown patties in a single layer within the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding.
- Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
- Remove hash browns and let rest on a wire rack for 2-3 minutes to maintain crispiness.
- Serve immediately while hot and enjoy with preferred breakfast accompaniments.
Notes
- Pat potatoes extremely dry to achieve maximum crispiness, as excess moisture prevents golden browning.
- Customize seasonings by adding smoked paprika, herbs like chives, or grated parmesan for unique flavor profiles.
- Use gluten-free flour or almond flour for those with wheat sensitivities, ensuring similar binding properties.
- Allow hash browns to rest briefly after cooking to maintain structural integrity and preserve crisp exterior texture.
