✅ Express response

Hash browns (400 g) Air Fryer 200 °C • 18 to 22 min • quarters or cubes, 1 tbsp oil, mix well

Small quantity (200 g) 200 °C • 14–17 min (stir halfway through cooking, ultra-crispy result)

Large quantities (600 g+) 200 °C • 25–28 min (stir 2×, monitor for coloring)

Bonus tip: Pre-cook for 5 minutes in boiling water for a guaranteed soft center 😋

Safety tip 🧯 : Never overload your Air Fryer basket! For crispiness, it's best to cook in batches. Use neutral or olive oil for your health, and don't forget to dry the potatoes well before cooking 🔥.

How to make successful hash browns in the Air Fryer?

Choose the right variety : choose a firm potato (Charlotte, Annabelle, etc.) for hash browns that hold their shape when cooked.
Prepare : wash, peel if you want, cut into cubes or quarters (2 cm). Sponge well to remove all the water (this is the secret to crispiness 🔥).
Season : Add the oil (1 tbsp/400g), salt, pepper, paprika, herbs, and a little garlic powder if you like it. Mix to coat each piece well.
Place in the basket : a single layer, not tightly packed – otherwise it will steam, not brown!
Cooking time : 200°C, 18–22 min depending on the quantity. Stir halfway through cooking for even browning. For large quantities, cook in two batches.
Enjoy : Serve immediately, add a pinch of fleur de sel, fresh parsley, or a dash of lemon yogurt sauce 🥗. Enjoy!

FAQ — Air Fryer Hash Browns

Should I precook potatoes before using the Air Fryer?

You can, but it's not mandatory. Pre-cooking them for 5 minutes in boiling water makes them even more tender. Otherwise, don't cut them too big and dry them well before putting them in the oven 👍.

Which variety should you choose for perfect hash browns?

Firm-fleshed varieties are ideal (Charlotte, Annabelle, Amandine). They crunch under the bite without crushing. Check out our potato guide !

Can you make hash browns without oil?

Yes, but the result will be less crispy. Add at least 1 tsp for extra indulgence, or use oil spray. The Air Fryer is already very light 🥔✨.

How do I prevent them from sticking or softening?

Dry the pieces well, do not overload the basket and stir halfway through cooking. For large quantities, do several batches.

Which Air Fryer should you choose for successful hash browns?

A model with a wide basket and good airflow gives better results. Check out our Air Fryer 2025 comparison or see this model on Amazon .
