Ingredients

16 ounces hash browns frozen - shredded
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cloves garlic finely chopped
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning dried
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup parmesan cheese grated

Instructions

In a food processor, pulse the shredded hash browns until they are finely chopped but not mashed.
In a large mixing bowl, add the potatoes, olive oil, flour, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Mix together gently— without compacting the potatoes too much.
Using a small spoon or tablespoon, scoop out enough of the mixture to shape a 1” tot in your hand. Make sure to compact the tot well so it doesn’t fall apart.
Place the tots in the air fryer, making sure they aren’t crowded.
Spray the tots with an olive oil cooking spray and bake at 375F for 15-18 minutes or until they are golden brown. Make sure to shake the air fryer basket half way through cooking so the tots cook evenly.
Remove from the fryer, and sprinkle with parmesan cheese and salt while they are still warm.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

For a more intense garlic taste, add in a teaspoon of garlic powder.
You can also add half of the parmesan cheese into the tots itself if you’d prefer.
