Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and rinse them thoroughly to remove dirt and starch.
Grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor with a grating attachment. Place the grated potatoes into a large bowl of cold water to prevent browning and to remove excess starch.
Let the grated potatoes soak for 5 minutes, then drain them into a colander. Rinse with fresh water to remove any remaining starch.
Transfer the grated potatoes onto a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels. Squeeze out as much water as possible to ensure crispy hash browns.
Place the dried grated potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
Lightly grease the air fryer basket or tray to prevent sticking. Add the seasoned potato mixture in a thin, even layer.
Air fry the hash browns for 10 minutes. Open the air fryer, gently toss or flip the potatoes with a spatula, and spread them out evenly again.
Continue air frying for an additional 8–10 minutes, or until the hash browns are golden brown and crispy to your liking.
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy as part of a hearty breakfast. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for added flavor.
