Use scissors to open the package of McCain Baby Cakes Hashbrowns.
Place the frozen hashbrowns directly into the air fryer basket in a single or overlapping layer.
Insert the basket into the air fryer and set the temperature to 400°F and time to 15 minutes.
At the halfway mark (around 7–8 minutes), remove the basket and flip the hashbrowns with a spatula. Rearrange any overlapping pieces to ensure even cooking.
Return the basket to the air fryer and finish cooking.
Once the timer goes off, remove the basket and check for a golden-brown finish. If desired, cook a few minutes longer for extra crispiness.
Transfer the hashbrowns to a plate and serve immediately. Enjoy!
