The hash browns are already formed, you just have to place them in the air fryer basket. Place them in the basket in a single layer without them touching. You wanted to make sure they have enough room for the air to circulate well. My particular model fit 3 hash brown patties.

Close lid and set the air fryer to 390 degrees and a cooking time of 11 minutes. Cook frozen hash browns and at the 8 minute mark, open your air fryer lid and carefully flip.

Close the lid and continue to air fry hash browns for the additional 3 minutes. Once they are golden brown, remove from the air fryer and serve as is or crumble.
