• 2 medium russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, diced into 1/2-inch cubes

• 1 small bell pepper, diced

• 1 small onion, diced

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Optional Garnish:

• Fresh parsley, chopped

• Shredded cheese (cheddar or pepper jack)

Kitchen Tools Needed:

• Air fryer

• Large mixing bowl

• Measuring cups and spoons

• Tongs or spatula

Preparation Steps:

Prepare the Ingredients:

1. Dice the potatoes into uniform cubes for even cooking.

2. Cut the sausage links into bite-sized pieces or crumble ground sausage if using.

3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes, bell pepper, onion, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.

Air Frying Steps:

1. Preheat: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F for 3–5 minutes.

2. Cook the Potatoes: Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket and cook at 375°F for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.

3. Add the Sausage and Vegetables: After 10 minutes, add the sausage and diced bell pepper and onion to the basket with the potatoes. Toss gently to mix.

4. Finish Cooking: Air fry for an additional 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until the sausage is cooked through and the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.

5. Check for Doneness: Ensure the sausage reaches an internal temperature of 160°F, and the potatoes are fork-tender.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve as a standalone dish topped with a fried or poached egg for a hearty breakfast.

• Pair with toast and fresh fruit for a balanced brunch.

• Add shredded cheese during the last 2 minutes of cooking for a cheesy variation.

Tips for Success:

• Uniform Sizing: Cut the potatoes and sausage into similar sizes to ensure even cooking.

• Preheat for Crispiness: Starting with a preheated air fryer helps the potatoes crisp up beautifully.

• Customize the Veggies: Add zucchini, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes for more variety.
