I like to cook hash brown in air fryer from scratch. It is very easy to cook them from scratch . We all love having hash browns in Mc Donald's and other fast food restaurants. We do not need to order them online or run to the eatery to satisfy our cravings. Air fryer hash browns are better than fried ones you eat outside, as they are not fried. Yes, they retain the same crunch minus the guilt of fried food.

Most frozen potato patty, fries, wedges and hash browns already have oil added to them before they are frozen. Hence, you cannot control the fat content in the potato cake. You can do so only when you make it at home. Learn to make this easy recipe in simple steps.

Notes

We do not want 100% boiled potatoes, we want them close to 70-80% cooked. It generally take 12-15 minutes in a boiling water.
This recipe of hash browns  is different from the potato cakes recipe as we have partially  boiled the potatoes here, while in the potato cakes, we completely boil the potatoes.
If you want the recipe for air fryer frozen hash browns, refer to the recipe here.

I must say hashbrowns in Ninja foodi actually give a good competition to restaurant ones. They are golden and crunchy and have a soft interior. Keeping frozen ones at homes always help when you are too tired to cook.

Top tip

Always keep your chimney on when using air fryer so that any fumes emitted are removed from the kitchen.
