Air Fryer Sweet Potato Hash Browns

These Air Fryer Sweet Potato Hash Browns have the perfect golden edges, a soft center, and that natural sweetness that just works with eggs, bacon, or even on their own. I’ve been testing air fryer recipes for years, so trust me when I say this one works. No guesswork, no soggy middles—just well-seasoned, crispy hash browns made with simple ingredients. If you’re tired of the same old breakfast rotation, these are a game-changer.

Ingredients

  • 4 sweet potatoes peeled
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

Instructions

  • Grate the sweet potatoes using the largest holes of a cheese grater.
  • Place the sweet potatoes in a bowl of cold water. Allow the sweet potatoes to soak for 20-25 minutes. Soaking the sweet potatoes in cold water will help remove the starch from the potatoes. This makes them crunchy.
  • Drain the water from the potatoes and dry them completely using a paper towel.
  • Place the potatoes in a dry bowl. Add the olive oil, garlic, paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine the ingredients.
  • Add the potatoes to the air fryer.
  • Cook for ten minutes on 400 degrees. 
  • Open the air fryer and shake the potatoes. Cook for an additional ten minutes.
  • Cool before serving.

Notes

Cook time may vary depending on the air fryer brand that you use. Check in on your hashbrowns after they have cooked for 15 minutes. This will allow you gauge how much additional time (if any) you will need. I like to check this by tasting a small portion to see if the hash browns are crunchy enough, or if they will need additional cook time.
