Ingredients

For hash brown patties

  • 2 large russet potatoes
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For loose hash browns

  • 2 large russet potatoes
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon oil

Serving

  • ¼ cup hot sauce
  • ¼ cup ranch dip

Instructions

  • Wash the potatoes thoroughly, dry and peel. Grate the potatoes using the largest side of a box grater into a large bowl.
  • Cover the grated potatoes in cold water for about 30 minutes. After soaking, drain and rinse the potatoes until the water runs clear.
  • Using cheesecloth or kitchen towel, squeeze as much water out of the potatoes as possible.
  • For Hash Brown Patties: Place the potatoes in a medium bowl. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, all-purpose flour, egg, oil, salt, and black pepper and mix well.
  • Line the air fryer tray with perforated parchment paper*. Shape the potato mixture into 2½-inch patties and place on the parchment paper. Air-fry at 360°F for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cook until the edges are golden brown. Serve hot.
  • For Loose Hash Browns: place the grated, dried potatoes into a medium bowl and toss with the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and oil to thoroughly combine.
  • Line the air fryer tray with perforated parchment pape*r. Transfer the potato mixture to the air fryer and cook at 360°F for 9-10 minutes, flipping every 3 minutes with a fork. Cook until the potatoes are crisp and golden brown. Serve hot.

Notes

*To make perforated parchment paper at home, cut the parchment paper to the size of your air-fryer base and poke holes in it.
