Start by preheating your air fryer to 400 degrees F. This ensures that it's nice and hot when you're ready to cook your hashbrowns.

While your air fryer is heating up, take your frozen hashbrowns out of the packaging and spread them out on a clean, dry surface. If you want your hashbrowns extra crispy, lightly spray them with cooking oil or use a brush to apply a thin layer of oil.

Once the air fryer is preheated, place the hashbrowns into the fryer basket in a single layer. Be sure not to overcrowd the basket to allow for proper airflow. If needed, cook them in batches.

Air fry hash browns for about 10-12 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, carefully shake or flip them to ensure even browning. You can adjust the cooking time based on your personal preference. Sometimes I will add them for an additional 3-5 minutes.

When the hashbrowns are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer. Season with salt and pepper to taste while they're still hot.

Serve your air-fried hashbrowns immediately with your favorite breakfast sides like eggs, bacon, or fresh fruit. They're also fantastic as a side dish for lunch or dinner.
