Ingredients
- – 500g (1.1lb) potatoes, such as Maris Piper or Russet. This is about 3-4 medium potatoes
- – 1tbsp (15 ml) cornflour (cornstarch in USA)
- – 1tbsp (15 ml) rice flour. This is optional, but ensures extra crispness. Replace with more cornflour (cornstarch) if you haven’t got any
- – 3tbsp (45 ml) unsalted butter
- – 1tbsp (15 ml) vegetable oil
- – 1/2 tsp (3 ml) salt
- – 1/2 tsp (3 ml) black pepper
- – 1/2 tsp (3 ml) garlic powder
- – 10-15 squirts spray oil
- – Maldon salt to serve
Instructions
- Place the potatoes in a pot without peeling or cutting them. Submerge them in cold water.
- Set the pot on high heat until it starts to boil. Reduce the heat and let it gently boil for 15 minutes.
- Pour out the water and allow the potatoes to cool for 15 minutes.
- Remove any blemishes or dark spots from the potatoes, then use a rotary or box grater to shred them, protecting your hands if needed.
- Transfer the shredded potatoes to a bowl, sprinkle with cornflour and rice flour, and gently mix to coat them evenly.
- Incorporate the melted butter, vegetable oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, mixing thoroughly.
- Divide the mixture into 8 equal parts, forming each into a 1cm thick patty, preferably in a triangular shape.
- Arrange them on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for an hour.
- When ready to cook, spray the air fryer basket with oil, and place the patties in a single layer, leaving space around each one. You might need to cook in two batches.
- Spray the tops of the hash browns with additional oil to ensure even browning.
- Cook them in the air fryer at 200°C (400°F) for 13-15 minutes until they become golden.
- Prepare the next batch and serve both with a light sprinkle of Maldon salt.
Notes
- Coat shredded potatoes with a mix of cornflour and rice flour for extra crispiness.
- Freeze patties for at least an hour before air frying for better shape and crispiness.
- Ensure space between hash browns in the air fryer for even browning; sprinkle with Maldon salt before serving.
