Creating perfect Air Fryer Frozen Hash Brown Patties is straightforward. Follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes.

2. Arrange Hash Brown Patties: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray. Place the frozen hash brown patties in a single layer in the basket, ensuring they do not overlap.

3. Season: Sprinkle salt, pepper, and any optional spices like garlic powder or onion powder over the patties for added flavor.

4. Cook: Air fry the patties for about 15-20 minutes. Halfway through, flip them to ensure even cooking and crispiness.

5. Check for Doneness: The hash browns should be golden brown and crispy. If necessary, air fry for an additional 2-3 minutes to achieve the desired crispiness.

6. Add Cheese (Optional): If you’d like to melt cheese on top, place shredded cheese on the patties during the last 2 minutes of cooking.

7. Remove and Serve: Once done, carefully remove the patties from the air fryer. Let them cool for a minute before serving.

By following these steps, you’ll create crispy, delicious hash brown patties in no time!
