Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 pounds (680 grams) baby potatoes, halved
- 16 ounces (454 grams) smoked sausage, sliced into 1-inch pieces
- 1 small onion, chopped
Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons light olive oil or canola oil
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish and Optional Accompaniments:
- Dried parsley (optional)
- Mustard (optional)
- Ketchup (optional)
- BBQ sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Slice baby potatoes into even halves and roughly chop onions into hearty chunks for uniform cooking.
- Transfer potato and onion pieces into a spacious mixing vessel, drizzling with olive oil to ensure thorough surface coverage.
- Sprinkle seasoned salt, garlic powder, and freshly ground black pepper over the vegetables, massaging the seasonings to create an even, flavorful coating.
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F, preparing the cooking surface with a light spray of non-stick cooking oil.
- Carefully distribute the seasoned potato and onion mixture into the air fryer basket, arranging in a single layer to promote optimal crispiness.
- Cook for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket midway through to guarantee even browning and prevent sticking.
- While potatoes are air frying, slice sausages diagonally into bite-sized medallions for quick, even heating.
- During the final 3-4 minutes of potato cooking, add sausage pieces to the air fryer basket, allowing them to develop a golden, slightly crisp exterior.
- Once potatoes are fork-tender with a golden-brown crust and sausages are heated through, remove from air fryer and serve immediately.
Notes
- Slice potatoes evenly to ensure uniform cooking and crispy exterior in the air fryer.
- Shake or toss the seasoned potatoes and onions halfway through cooking to promote even browning and prevent sticking.
- Choose high-quality sausage with good fat content for extra flavor and juiciness in the final dish.
- Customize seasoning by experimenting with herbs like rosemary or thyme for added depth and complexity.
