Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 500 g floury potatoes such as Maris Piper or Russet – about 3–4 medium potatoes
  • 1 tbsp cornflour
  • 1 tbsp rice flour optional, for extra crispness – use more cornflour if not available
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil e.g., vegetable or sunflower oil
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 10-15 squirts spray oil
  • to taste Maldon salt to finish

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

  1. Place the unpeeled potatoes in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 15 minutes. Drain and let cool for 15 minutes.
  2. Once cooled, remove any eyes or blemishes. Grate the potatoes using a rotary or box grater.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the grated potato with the cornflour and rice flour to coat evenly.
  4. Pour in the melted butter and neutral oil. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix gently until everything is combined.
  5. Divide the mixture into 8 portions. Shape each into a flat patty about 1 cm thick.
  6. Place the hash browns on a tray lined with baking parchment and freeze for 1 hour.
  7. Spray the air fryer basket with a few squirts of spray oil. Arrange the hash browns in a single layer with space in between. Spray the tops with more oil.
  8. Air fry at 200°C (400°F) for 13–15 minutes until golden and crisp. No need to flip.
  9. Sprinkle with Maldon salt and serve immediately.
