Favorite Air Fryer Dinner
- The air fryer gets meals on the table in minutes, with minimal clean-up.

Ingredients & Variations
SMOKED SAUSAGE: Precooked and ready to reheat, smoked sausage has a mild flavor that goes with everything. Polish, Italian, Garlic or Kielbasa, even breakfast links will work.
POTATOES: Russets or Yukon gold are best for this recipe because they are extra starchy which means they cook up fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Any potato will do, even a bag of frozen potato wedges, no need to thaw!
VEGETABLES: Onions, peppers, and grape tomatoes are a colorful, savory addition to sausage and potatoes.
SEASONING: Double up on the basic blend in this recipe and use it for future recipes because it goes with everything! We also like Greek Seasoning or Italian Seasoning.

Air Fryer Tips & Tricks
- Cut onions, potatoes, peppers, and other veggies in uniform sizes so they cook at the same rate.
- For best results, always preheat the air fryer before cooking. This allows the air to crisp up the outside of the meat and potatoes.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer.
Leftovers
Keep sausage and potatoes covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave, as desired.
