Air Fryer Hash Browns Temperature
Preheat the air fryer to 400F for 5 minutes. Most air fryer models will do this automatically, but if yours doesn't simply start your air fryer for 5 minutes before cooking.
If you have a non-stick basket, there's no need to oil it before adding the hash browns. If you have an oven unit you can spritz a little bit of oil before adding the hash brown patties.
Lay as many frozen hash browns in the air fryer that will fit, leaving room between each one. There's no need to add additional oil to the hash browns since they already come pre-seasoned and pre-oiled.
Our unit could cook up to 5 frozen hash browns at one time. If you need more than your unit can fit, cook in batches rather than crowding.
Air Fryer Hash Browns Cooking Time
Cook for a total of 10-12 minutes for crispy air fryer hash browns, flipping them after 5 minutes.
If you don't want them as crispy, take them out as early as 8 minutes as long as they're cooked through and hot.

- While it may be tempting to thaw your frozen hash browns to speed up cooking, this will actually hurt your results. Keep your frozen hash brown patties frozen until you are ready to cook them.
