As the morning sun spilled through the kitchen window, the tantalising aroma of crispy, golden shredded hash browns wafted through the air. With the air fryer preheating to perfection, the anticipation built as I tossed the finely grated potatoes with a sprinkle of salt and a dash of pepper. In mere moments, they would be transformed into delightful little bites, their edges crispy and their centres fluffy.

Once placed in the air fryer basket, I set the timer and waited, the machine humming softly. The preparation was effortless, and the clean-up would be even easier—no greasy pans to contend with. A quick shake halfway through ensured an even crunch. As the timer beeped, I opened the fryer to reveal a golden treasure, ready to be enjoyed alongside a dollop of freshly made ketchup or even a side of poached eggs. Breakfast was about to be a delightfully indulgent affair without any of the guilt!
