Top 12 Airfryer MISTAKES → How to Use an Airfryer

You’d think it couldn’t be easier than slicing open a bag of frozen shredded potatoes and tossing them into a hot skillet with a little oil. While the traditional method of cooking frozen hash browns certainly gets the job done your trusty air fryer is the better method for a few reasons. Namely the air fryer makes the process easier cleaner and less hands-off. Unlike cooking frozen hash browns in a skillet on the stovetop with the air fryer you don’t have to worry about the fiddly task of knowing when to flip each layer of potatoes.

All you need is a standard air fryer a little cooking oil and your preferred salt pepper and other seasonings. Just add the amount of frozen potatoes you want (no need to thaw them) and they'll be ready to eat in minutes.

The traditional way of cooking hash browns requires a fair amount of supervision — you can’t just throw them in a skillet and forget about them. The frozen potatoes need to be watched as they brown on both sides. If you flip them too early they may fall apart in the pan instead of staying in one turnable piece.
