Air Fryer Sausage and Potatoes Dinner

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

  1. Wash and Quarter the Potatoes: Rinse the potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel, then quarter baby potatoes or dice larger potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes for even cooking.
  2. Slice the Sausage: Cut the smoked sausage or Italian sausage into 1/2-inch rounds. You can use your favorite sausage variety; smoked sausage adds a deep flavor, while Italian sausage adds a slight kick.
  3. Dice the Vegetables: Chop the bell pepper and onion into bite-sized pieces. These will add flavor and a hint of sweetness to the dish.

Step 2: Season the Ingredients

  1. Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the potatoes, sausage slices, bell pepper, and onion.
  2. Add Olive Oil and Seasonings: Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle in the garlic powder, paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together to ensure the sausage, potatoes, and vegetables are well-coated with the seasonings.

Step 3: Preheat the Air Fryer

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for about 3-5 minutes. This helps to ensure that everything starts cooking evenly once placed inside.

Step 4: Air Fry the Sausage and Potatoes

  1. Arrange the Mixture: Place the sausage and potato mixture in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding; it’s best to cook in batches if your air fryer is on the smaller side, as this ensures a crispier result.
  2. Cook for 15-20 Minutes: Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes to promote even cooking. The potatoes should turn golden and crispy, while the sausage becomes slightly charred and juicy.
