Favorite Air Fryer Dinner
- The air fryer gets meals on the table in minutes, with minimal clean-up.
- Super fast, little prep, and full of flavor.
- Sausage and potatoes are a multi-use recipe that’s perfect for dinner or lunch.
- Swap up the veggies and seasonings to make it your own.
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.

Made this wonderful dish again. I added carrots this time, but because they were skinny, added them to potatoes at the 6 minute mark. Also more tomatoes and feta.
I put the potatoes into the bowl that had the oil/spice mixture, stirred and used a slotted spoon to put in the air fryer.
Next carrots were placed in the bowl, stirred and put in air fryer at 6 minutes. (If they were large I would have put them in with the potatoes.)
Last sausage and red peppers were put in the bowl and after 12 minutes poured them into the air fryer.
It sounds like more work but when there’s a small amount of oil/seasonings and a large bowl, it’s a little difficult for me to split things up. (I used a Typhur Dome 2.) When I ask my husband if there’s anything he’d like for dinner, this recipe is named, so thanks so much!
Beth, that sounds absolutely delicious—what a great way to customize the dish. So glad it’s a favorite in your home—thanks for sharing your tasty twist!
Love this recipe will be making it soon!!
Absolutely terrific. More of a layered taste than similar recipes, and so worth the couple extra steps, which don’t make it more difficult. I didn’t have a fresh lemon so used lemon juice and Penzy’s Minced Lemon Peel, which is soft. My air fryer is a Cosori Dual Blaze, which has heating elements on the top and bottom, so figured it might take a little less time, so instead of 12 minutes for the potatoes I did 10 and it was perfect. My husband loved it and asked me to leave the skin on the potatoes next time, which I usually do anyway. I only had russets and they were great.
So glad you enjoyed it, Beth!
