Air Fryer Potatoes and Sausage in 30 Minutes

These air fryer potatoes and sausage combine seasoned baby potatoes, onion, and fully cooked smoked sausage for a crisp four-serving dinner. The potatoes cook first, then the sliced sausage is added for the final five minutes.

Why Air Fryer Potatoes and Sausage Work

Halved baby potatoes cook quickly and expose plenty of surface area for browning. Oil, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and black pepper coat the potatoes and onion evenly. Adding fully cooked sausage near the end heats and browns it without overcooking it.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
• 1 small onion, cut into large chunks
• 2 tablespoons light olive oil or canola oil
• 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 16 ounces fully cooked smoked sausage, cut into 1-inch slices
• Nonstick cooking spray, for the air fryer basket
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley, optional for serving
• Honey mustard, ketchup, or barbecue sauce, optional for dipping

How to Make Air Fryer Potatoes and Sausage

• Slice the baby potatoes in half and cut the onion into large chunks.
• Place the potatoes and onion in a gallon-size zip-top bag with the oil, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Seal and toss until evenly coated.
• Spray the basket of a 6-quart air fryer with nonstick cooking spray.
• Add the coated potatoes and onion to the basket and air-fry at 400°F for about 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
• While the potatoes cook, cut the smoked sausage into 1-inch slices.
• After the potatoes have cooked for 15 minutes, add the sausage and cook for 5 minutes more.
• Sprinkle with dried parsley and serve with honey mustard, ketchup, or barbecue sauce if desired.

Serving and Storage

Serve the mixture hot, with parsley or a dipping sauce if desired. Refrigerate cooled leftovers in a covered container and reheat them in the air fryer until hot and crisp at the edges.

Final Result

The finished meal has browned sausage, tender potatoes with crisp edges, and softened onion. Use fully cooked smoked sausage as specified by the recipe.
