Introduction

If you’re searching for a dinner that brings bold flavor, crispy textures, and minimal fuss, look no further than Crispy Air Fryer Sausage & Potatoes.

Why You’ll Love This Air Fryer Sausage & Potatoes

The air fryer transforms ordinary ingredients into an extraordinary meal. Potatoes emerge tender on the inside and perfectly crisp outside. Sausage turns juicy with a snappy casing. The best part? You get all this with just a fraction of the oil typically needed to roast or pan-fry, yielding a healthier meal without sacrificing any flavor.

Choosing and Prepping Your Ingredients

For the most even, crispy results, ensure your potatoes are cut uniformly. A Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper is invaluable for quick, even chopping, saving time and helping your potatoes cook evenly. When selecting sausage, opt for pre-cooked varieties (like smoked or fully-cooked chicken sausage) for the best texture and quickest prep.

Do give your potatoes a quick soak in cold water for 10 minutes before cooking. This removes excess starch, promoting crispiness.

Mastering the Air Fryer Technique

An efficient air fryer is the secret weapon for this recipe, delivering the beloved crispy exteriors with tender middles. The COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1, Compact & Large 6-Qt offers ample basket space so your sausage and potatoes get enough hot air circulation to roast evenly—no crowding or sogginess! To keep cleanup a breeze, line your air fryer basket with Air Fryer Paper Liners, 8” Square by Baker’s Signature.

You’ll also want a high-quality oil sprayer—the YARRAMATE 16oz/470ml Oil Sprayer for Cooking is perfect for coating your veggies with just enough oil for crisping, without dousing them.

Serving and Storage Suggestions

Brighten up your plate by tossing in colorful bell peppers or onions with the potatoes before cooking, or garnish with fresh chopped parsley just before serving. Store any leftovers in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers—they’ll keep your sausage and potatoes fresh and ready for a quick reheat the next day.
