It doesn’t matter what we are making because hashbrowns are usually the favorite of the meal. To save time I used to make air fryer hash brown patties. They were just easy to toss into the air fryer basket and air fry.
I then discovered that I could do the same thing with shredded frozen hashbrowns. This became a game changer when making breakfast for the family. I like using the frozen hashbrowns because most of the moisture has been taken out by freezing. This is necessary to get the beautiful golden brown color.
