Method
Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Prepare the Hash Browns: Remove the frozen hash brown patties from the packaging. You can lightly spray them with cooking oil if you want an extra crispy texture (optional).
Arrange the Hash Browns: Place the frozen patties in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they aren’t overcrowded to allow proper air circulation.
Cook the Hash Browns: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook the hash brown patties for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispiness on both sides.
Check for Doneness: After 10-12 minutes, check if the hash browns are golden brown and crispy. If they need more time, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Serve: Once the hash brown patties are cooked to your desired crispiness, remove them from the air fryer and serve immediately.

Notes
Don’t Overcrowd: Ensure that the hash brown patties are arranged in a single layer to allow the hot air to circulate evenly. Cook in batches if necessary.
Customization: You can season the hash brown patties with spices like paprika, garlic powder, or pepper before cooking for added flavor.
Storage: Leftover cooked hash browns can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated in the air fryer for a few minutes to crisp them up again.
