How to Make Delicious Air Frying Sausage and Potatoes
Ingredients:
- 4 sausages (I love using Italian sausages for extra flavor.)
- 4 medium potatoes, diced (Feel free to mix up your potatoes! Red potatoes or Yukon Gold work beautifully.)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (This adds a lovely richness.)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (For that dreamy aroma!)
- 1 teaspoon paprika (This gives a little kick and beautiful color.)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Fresh herbs for garnish (I adore rosemary—it adds a wonderful fragrance!)
Cooking Steps:
-
Preheat the Air Fryer: Start by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Trust me, this step is crucial for getting that lovely crispiness on your potatoes and sausages!
-
Prepare the Potatoes: In a bowl, take your diced potatoes and drizzle them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle in the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Get your hands in there and toss everything together until those potatoes are coated in flavor.
-
Add the Sausages: Now, grab your 4 sausages and place them in the air fryer basket. Try to position them so they’re not overcrowded; this will help them cook evenly.
-
Mix It All Up: Next, add the seasoned potatoes around the sausages in the air fryer basket. Don’t worry about it looking perfect—it will all come together beautifully during cooking!
-
Air Fry: Cook everything for about 15-20 minutes. I usually give the basket a good shake halfway through. This ensures everything gets that golden brown color we all love!
-
Check for Doneness: After about 15 minutes, take a peek. The potatoes should be crispy and the sausages should be cooked through. If you’re not sure, use a meat thermometer—sausages should reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
-
Serve it Up: Remove everything from the air fryer, and if you’d like, garnish with fresh herbs. Honestly, there’s nothing better than plating up this dish and hearing the happy chatter around the table.
-
Enjoy with Loved Ones: Sit back, relax, and relish the compliments! Trust me, you’ll find this dish disappearing quickly.

What You’ll Need:
- An air fryer (of course!)
- A cutting board and sharp knife for your potatoes
- A mixing bowl for seasoning
- A meat thermometer to check those sausages
Step-by-Step Guide:
- First, preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
- Grab a bowl and mix together your diced potatoes, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Place the sausages in the air fryer.
- Put the beautifully seasoned potatoes around those sausages.
- Set the timer and cook for 15-20 minutes, remembering to shake the basket halfway.
- Check for that delicious golden brown and enjoy!
Tips for Perfect Results:
- To make those potatoes even crispier, I sometimes spray them with a little olive oil before air frying. It adds a nice sheen!
- If you prefer spicier food, consider adding some red pepper flakes or switching to spicy sausages.
- Fresh herbs like thyme or parsley can elevate the dish, giving it a lovely aroma!
Serving Suggestions and Sides: I like to serve this dish with a simple green salad dressed with a light vinaigrette. You can also pair it with some homemade garlic bread or steamed veggies on the side. It’s flexible, so don’t hesitate to mix things up! And don’t forget to whip up a quick dipping sauce; a tangy mustard or a zesty barbecue sauce works wonders.
Leftovers: If you happen to have any leftovers (which I doubt!), keep them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll last about 3 days. When you’re ready to enjoy again, just pop them back in the air fryer at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes. They’ll taste just as delightful as the first time!

What if I don’t have an air fryer? No worries! You can roast everything in the oven at 425°F. Just spread everything on a baking sheet and enjoy the same comforting flavors.
Can I make this dish ahead of time? To be honest, I wouldn’t recommend making it ahead because the potatoes are best when freshly cooked. However, you can prep the potatoes a few hours in advance and store them in water to keep them from browning. Just drain and dry before cooking!
How do I know when the sausages are cooked? Using a meat thermometer is your best bet! The sausages should be at least 160°F to be considered safe.
This dish has become a beloved favorite in my house, and I’m so excited for you to try it. I know you’ll love how easy and delicious it is to make! Just imagine serving it up and hearing the smiles and laughter from your family around the table. If they ask for seconds, just like mine do every time, know that you’ve made something truly special!
