🥘Ingredients

Ingredients

2 large potatoes
1 small onion
1 egg
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp all-purpose flour

👨‍🍳Directions

1First, wash and peel the potatoes.
2Grate them using a box grater or a food processor.
3Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
4This step is crucial to remove excess moisture, which can make the patties soggy.
5Next, finely chop the onion using a knife or a food processor.
6In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, egg, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
7Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
8Add the flour and mix again.
9The mixture should hold together when squeezed.
10If it is too wet, add a bit more flour.
11If it is too dry, add a bit more egg or a splash of milk.
12Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions.
13Using your hands, shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick and 4 inches in diameter.
14Place the patties on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
15Cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
16This step helps the patties hold their shape during cooking.
17Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) while the patties are chilling.
18Once the air fryer is preheated, carefully place the patties in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
19You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
20Cook the patties at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes.
21Then, flip them using a spatula and cook for another 10 minutes.
22The patties should be golden brown and crispy on both sides.
23If they are not done to your liking, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until they reach your desired level of crispiness.
24Remove the patties from the air fryer and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.
25While the patties are cooking, you can prepare your favorite toppings or sauces.
26Some great options include sour cream, ketchup, hot sauce, or a fried egg.
27Serve the hash brown patties hot with your choice of toppings and enjoy.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Air Fryer Hash Brown Patties

Yes, you can make the patties ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just make sure to refrigerate them in a single layer on a plate or baking sheet. When you are ready to cook them, simply place them in the air fryer and follow the cooking instructions.

Can I freeze these hash brown patties?

Yes, you can freeze the hash brown patties before or after cooking them. To freeze before cooking, place the raw patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 2-3 hours. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container and store for up to 3 months. To freeze after cooking, let the patties cool completely, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container and store for up to 2 months. To reheat, place the frozen patties in the air fryer and cook at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes or until heated through and crispy.

Can I use frozen hash browns for this recipe?

Yes, you can use frozen hash browns for this recipe. However, you will need to thaw and drain them before using. To thaw, place the frozen hash browns in a colander and run cold water over them until thawed. Then, drain them well and squeeze out any excess liquid. Follow the recipe instructions as written, adding only 1 egg and 1 tbsp flour to the hash brown mixture.

Can I make these hash brown patties gluten-free?

Yes, you can make these hash brown patties gluten-free by substituting the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. I recommend using a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend for best results. You can also omit the flour altogether and use a bit more egg or a splash of milk to help the patties hold together.

Can I make these hash brown patties vegan?

Yes, you can make these hash brown patties vegan by omitting the egg and using a flaxseed or chia seed mixture as a binder instead. To make the flaxseed mixture, mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 2.5 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken, then use it in place of the egg in the recipe. You may need to add a bit more flour to help the patties hold together.
