Breakfast is a family favorite at my house. sometimes breakfast is just eggs and bacon and other times we make omelets. It doesn’t matter what we are making because hashbrowns are usually our 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. They can be air fried frozen. This became a game changer when making breakfast for the family. I like using frozen hashbrowns because most of the moisture has been taken out by freezing. This is necessary to get the beautiful golden brown color.
