Ingredients

4 medium potatoes, diced into small cubes

1 large onion, sliced

12 oz smoked sausage or beef sausage, sliced into rounds

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning

1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients

Wash and dice the potatoes into even bite-sized cubes. Slice the onion and sausage into medium pieces.

Season Everything

In a large mixing bowl, combine potatoes, onions, and sausage. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, oregano, and chili flakes. Toss well until evenly coated.

Preheat the Air Fryer

Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for 3 minutes.

Air Fry the Mixture

Place the seasoned mixture into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 380°F (193°C) for 20–22 minutes.

Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crispiness.

Check for Doneness

Potatoes should be golden and crispy outside while soft inside. Sausage should be nicely browned and onions lightly caramelized.

Serve

Transfer to serving bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot on its own or with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips

Add bell peppers for extra flavor and color.

Use baby potatoes for a softer texture.

Sprinkle shredded cheese on top during the last 2 minutes for a cheesy version.

For extra crisp potatoes, soak diced potatoes in cold water for 15 minutes before cooking and pat dry.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 3–4 minutes to bring back the crispiness.
