  • 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.
