Follow The Directions

01

Step

Soak potatoes in cool water for 20 minutes to remove excess starch. (Time: 20 minutes)

02

Step

Preheat the air fryer to 320 degrees F (160 degrees C). (Time: 5 minutes)

03

Step

Drain the potatoes, dry them thoroughly with a clean towel (this is crucial for crispiness!), and transfer to a large bowl. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over the potatoes and toss to coat. Add them to the preheated air fryer basket. (Time: 5 minutes)

04

Step

Set the timer for 18 minutes. (Time: 18 minutes)

05

Step

While the potatoes are air frying, put bell pepper, onion, and jalapeno in the bowl previously used for the potatoes. Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon olive oil, taco seasoning, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat, ensuring the vegetables are evenly seasoned. (Time: 5 minutes)

06

Step

After 18 minutes, transfer potatoes from the air fryer to the bowl with the vegetable mixture. Return the empty basket to the air fryer and raise the temperature to 356 degrees F (180 degrees C). (Time: 2 minutes)

07

Step

Quickly toss the contents of the bowl to mix the potatoes evenly with the vegetables and seasoning. Transfer the mixture into the basket. (Time: 3 minutes)

08

Step

Cook for 6 minutes, shake the basket, and continue cooking until potatoes are browned and crispy, about 5 minutes more. (Time: 11 minutes)

09

Step

Serve immediately and enjoy the symphony of flavors and textures! (Time: 2 minutes)

For extra flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic to the vegetables.
Adjust the amount of jalapeno depending on your spice preference. Remove the seeds and membranes for a milder flavor.
Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. Work in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking and maximum crispness.
These hash browns are fantastic served with a fried egg, salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
