Ingredients

  • 3 cups of shredded hash browns
  • 2-3 green onions
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup of all purpose flour
  • 1 egg

Instructions
 

  • Combine your shredded hash browns, garlic, paprika, salt and pepper, flour, and egg in a large bowl. 
  • Chop your green onions, the green part only, and incorporate them into the mixture. 
  • Preheat your air fryer to 370 degrees. 
  • While it is preheating, make your pancakes. I took a ¼ cup measuring cup and scooped the mixture into it. I then shook it out and it was formed like the measuring cup. I simply pressed down on the mixture to make it into the pancake form. Once your air fryer is ready, generously spray the bottom of your basket. Lay your potato cakes in the basket. Do not overcrowd it because you will need room to flip them halfway through the cooking time. 
  • Cook for 4 minutes and then flip. Spray the tops of your potato pancakes and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes. 
  • Serve with a dollop of sour cream and additional green onions, if desired.

Notes

How to reheat potato pancakes:

1. Place the potato pancakes in your air fryer.
2. Air fry for 4-5 minutes or until they are crispy and hot. Serve and enjoy!
