Ingredients
- 600 g Potatoes (Peeled; Coles Baby Carisma potatoes or russet potatoes)
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tbsp Cornflour (Also called cornstarch)
- Salt (To taste)
- Onion powder (To taste)
- Garlic powder (To taste)
- Smoked paprika (To taste; the written recipe says paprika)
- Black pepper (Use a tiny amount, to taste)
- 50 g Low-fat grated cheese (The post recommends Bega 50% Less Fat Grated Cheese)
- Light cooking oil spray (For coating the parchment-lined tray and lightly spraying the formed hash browns before cooking)
Steps
- 1
Peel the potatoes and place them in a bowl of water. Let them soak for 15 minutes; this helps remove excess surface starch.
- 2
Drain the potatoes, grate them, and squeeze out as much water as possible. Use your hands, a clean kitchen towel, or a potato ricer so the grated potato is quite dry; excess moisture will prevent crisping.
- 3
Return the squeezed grated potatoes to a mixing bowl. Add the eggs, cornflour, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a very small amount of black pepper.
- 4
Add the low-fat grated cheese and mix thoroughly until the egg, starch, seasonings, cheese, and potato are evenly combined.
- 5
Line a tray that fits your freezer and air fryer with baking paper, then lightly coat it with cooking oil spray.
- 6
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Using your hands, shape each portion into a compact, evenly thick hash brown and arrange them on the prepared tray without overlapping.
- 7
Place the tray in the freezer for about 1 hour, until the shaped hash browns are firm enough to handle. This helps them hold their shape during cooking.
- 8
Preheat the air fryer to 190°C / 370°F. Lightly spray the tops of the chilled hash browns with cooking oil spray.
- 9
Air-fry the hash browns for 20–25 minutes, turning them halfway through. Cook until the outside is crisp and golden and the centers are fluffy and fully set. Work in batches if necessary so air can circulate around each piece.
- 10
Serve hot and crisp. Allow any remaining hash browns to cool before storing.
