Homemade Crispy Hash Browns
Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. Learn how to make authentic diner-style hash browns from scratch using fresh potatoes in your air fryer with just a drizzle of oil.
Ingredients
- 600 g starchy potatoes (e.g., Russet)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and grate them coarsely using a box grater.
Crucial step: wrap the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly to wring out as much excess water as possible.
Transfer to a mixing bowl and toss well with olive oil, cornstarch, salt, and pepper.
Shape into flat patties (about 1 cm or 0.5 inch thick) and place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook at 190°C (375°F) for 15-20 minutes, flipping them gently halfway through until golden and super crispy.
