Steps
- 01Shred, squeeze dry (aggressively), per base recipe.
- 02Mix the dry shreds with cheddar, onion, oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- 03Form into 4 firm patties.
- 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.
