Frozen Hash Browns In Air Fryer

Jump to Recipe

Air Frying Frozen Foods is such a game changer and lifesaver for busy busy days and lives.

It doesn’t get much better than a big, hearty breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, and a generous serving of air fryer frozen hash browns. Or you could whip this up as an awesome side dish. And making frozen hash browns in air fryer is so quick and easy, you’ll never want to cook them any other way.

I love that these air fryer hash browns turn out perfectly every time. There is just the right amount of crispiness, and they are never soggy. Plus, the Italian seasoning adds an incredible and unexpected burst of flavor. 

Since these are cooked from frozen, no advanced planning is required. Breakfast cuisine for dinner (or Brinner, as we call it) is a favorite in my house, so I always have a bag of frozen hash browns in the freezer, so it’s easy to make on a whim. Plus, clean-up is a breeze!

And these are just as easy as delicious Air Fryer Frozen Burritos or best ever Air Fryer Frozen Shrimp and these awesome Frozen Corn On The Cob Air Fryer.

Recipe Notes and Pro Tips 

• These recipes here cook the veggies from frozen. Please do not thaw them first.
• If you want crispy hash browns, then break up the frozen potatoes before air frying, as larger clumps may not crisp up. Like with frozen peas, you can whack the packet against the counter to break them up.
• Don’t overcrowd the basket. The air needs to circulate to cook the food evenly and crisp it up. Work in multiple batches to cook crispy hash browns. Cook the first batch then remove and add subsequent batches.
• If you want them extra crispy you might need to add more oil and cook them for a few more minutes.
• Check out some of my favorite things to use to make this recipe.
• Be careful when you flip the patties so that they do not break during the cooking process. Use a spatula to turn them as well as to avoid scratching the basket.
• Larger pieces of hash browns may need to cook for an additional minute or two. 
• Season these Air fried hash browns to taste, and don’t skip the salt.
• Check out how to clean an air fryer well after cooking to avoid the transfer of food smells.

Delicious Variations

• Swap the seasoning – Swap out the Italian seasoning for your favorite seasoning blend or other spices. 
• Top with cheese – Sprinkle the hash browns with shredded cheese and return to the air fryer for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Yum!
• Add bacon – sprinkle on some cooked crispy bacon during the last minute of cooking.

Prep And Storage

• Prep Ahead – No need to prep ahead. Go from freezer to air fryer to table in under 15 minutes. 
• Store – Store leftover hash browns in an airtight container inside the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in a 350 degrees F / 180 degrees C oven.
