Golden, crispy hash brown patties, cooked straight from frozen in the air fryer! This method is super quick and super easy, giving you ready-to-eat hash brown patties in less than 15 minutes.
🥔 What Makes This Recipe So Good
- The air fryer makes cooking frozen hash brown patties SO easy, and the results are pure perfection. Golden and crisp on the outside, fluffy and tender on the inside. Best of all, you don’t need any heavy oil. The air fryer gives you deep-fried hash brown patties without actually having to deep-fry them!
- This is really a no prep recipe/method. I mean, you need to preheat the air fryer, but that hardly takes any time at all. We’re cooking the hash brown patties from frozen, which means you just have to take them out of the freezer and put them into the air fryer! 10-12 minutes later you’ve got perfect, crispy potato patties ready to enjoy however you want. Might I recommend some air fryer hash brown toast?
- If McDonald’s hash brown patties are your go-to, this will totally make your day. Now you can skip the drive-thru and make your air fryer hash brown patties FAST-FOOD STYLE instead! Just spritz a little oil on the hash browns directly, then salt them to taste. The oil makes them even crispier, and the salt makes them taste just like the restaurant’s.
👩🏼🍳 Chef’s Tips
- I wrote this for 4 hash brown patties, but you can honestly cook as many as you want. If you’re working with a smaller air fryer, you’ll want to cook the hash brown patties in batches so you don’t overcrowd the basket. Remember, the air needs to circulate around all sides of the food in order to cook it completely. If you want to avoid soft or soggy spots, don’t stack or overlap the patties.
- Each air fryer cooks a little differently. Even two of the exact same model will cook differently in the exact same kitchen. Keep an eye on the hash brown patties, especially the first couple of times you try this method, and adjust the cook time as needed so you don’t under- or over-cook them.
- This method is specific to frozen hash brown patties. You can totally cook shredded hashbrowns in the air fryer, too, though! The cook time and temperature are a little different than what we use here, but both styles of potato are ready in a matter of minutes.

easy-peasy and so good!
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing, Rebecca! 😊
We tried some with no oil spray and some with an oil spray. We preferred the oil sprayed patties as they were a little crispier. We did add the extra 3 minutes. We’re new to the air fryer game, so appreciated the guidelines here. We’ll be trying the bacon next for summertimes BLTs.
We’re so glad it was helpful and everyone enjoyed them! Be sure to let us know how you like the bacon, too! 😊
