Oh, the beloved fried hash brown patty – how I love you. If there is one food from McDonald’s that I have a true love for it is the McDonald’s fried hash brown patty. Yes, It’s full of grease and things not good for me. But I love it so. Luckily, I’ve learned over the years to make air fryer hash brown patties at home which do not have the same level of oil or the same level of cost. Read on to learn how to make these super easy frozen hash browns in the air fryer.
Healthier Air Fryer Hash Brown Patties
A main draw of making these air fryer hash brown patties is the reduction of oil, obviously. When pan frying, a certain amount of oil is required – adding calories and fat. With this air fryer hash brown recipe, you can enjoy the same crispy hash brown patties with less guilt.
Where to Buy Frozen Potato Patties
You can buy frozen hash brown patties at most any grocery store in the frozen breakfast foods area. They are sold in a multi-pack and will keep in the freezer for a long while. We typically buy ours at Kroger or Walmart.
How Long to Cook Air Fryer Frozen Hash Brown Patties
My husband and I have made air fryer hash browns for years. We have always found the magic number to be 12 minutes. Of course, air fryers or different. I would suggest eyeballing your hash browns a few minutes before – especially the first time you are making this recipe.
We have a small air fryer and can only fit two patties at a time without overlapping.
After six minutes, we flip the patties and cook for six minutes longer. Be careful so as not to tear the patties.
When you remove them from the basket, you should have browned crispy hash brown patties that are quite stiff with no limpness. If they seem limp, they might need to cook a little longer.
What to Serve With This Breakfast Item
Sometimes, I like to just eat the potato patties on their own. Other times, we serve frozen hash browns with scrambled eggs and sausage. Or we serve them with bacon and fruit.
