  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar
  • 2 tablespoons finely diced onion
  • 1 tablespoon oil or melted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  1. 01Shred, squeeze dry (aggressively), per base recipe.
  2. 02Mix the dry shreds with cheddar, onion, oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. 03Form into 4 firm patties.
  4. 04Ready for the air fryer.
The cheese melts inside the patty and fuses the shreds together into a more cohesive hash brown that holds its shape better than plain. The onion adds flavor throughout every bite instead of just being a topping. Mix everything together before forming the patties so the distribution is even.
