Air Fryer Potatoes and Sausage – The One-Pan Wonder

Servings: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 medium potatoes, diced into bite-sized cubes (keep it chunky, not mashed!)
  • 3 sausages (smoked, chicken, or your favorite variety), sliced into thick coins
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (or enough to make the potatoes feel loved)
  • 1 tsp paprika (because color = flavor)
  • ½ tsp garlic powder (you can never have too much garlic)
  • ½ tsp onion powder (because who has time to dice onions?)
  • ½ tsp dried oregano or thyme (your choice of herby flair)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Veggies like bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms for extra color and smugness.

Instructions

  1. Potato Prep Party:
    • Toss the diced potatoes in a large bowl with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Be generous; no one likes bland potatoes.
    • Add the sausages to the mix, giving everything a good stir so it’s evenly coated.
  2. Preheat Like a Pro:
    • Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). If your air fryer doesn’t have a preheat option, pretend it does and wait 3 minutes.
  3. Air Fryer Magic:
    • Dump (gently) the potato and sausage mixture into the air fryer basket. Spread it out in an even layer.
    • Cook for 15 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes to prevent a potato mutiny.
  4. Veggie Add-On (Optional):
    • If adding veggies, toss them in with the potatoes and sausage after 10 minutes of cooking. This keeps them crisp-tender, not mushy.
  5. Check & Serve:
    • Check for doneness by stabbing a potato cube with a fork. If it’s tender, you’re good.
    • Serve hot with a side of ketchup, mustard, or your favorite dip.
