Notes
Tips and variations for air fryer potatoes and onions
Seasoning: You can use your favorite seasonings such as oregano, a pinch of red chili, and salt.
Italian seasoning goes well with this side dish. You can also use a little bit of brown sugar for more taste and texture.
Overcrowded your fryer basket: may cause your potatoes and onions to not cook evenly. Veggies will get tender but may not turn crispy and caramelized.
Cook meal together: You can also cook your favorite meal in the same basket, at the same time. Just place your meal such as chicken, fish, or meat chops in the basket and spread onions and potatoes around them. You will get your complete meal at the same time. Do not forget to flip halfway.
