Notes

Note 1: Nutrition information is for Simply Potatoes hash browns.

Note 2: If the hash browns are frozen in one big chunk, break it apart into smaller pieces before seasoning rather than coating just the surface - loose shreds cook more evenly than a thawed block

Note 3: Don't thaw the frozen hash browns before air frying them.

Note 4: Shredded hash browns tend to brown unevenly, so it is very important to monitor them and stir them frequently. Adjust the air frying time as needed.
