Here’s a simple recipe for making Sausage & Potato Foil Packets in your air fryer:
Ingredients:
- 2-3 medium potatoes, diced into small cubes
- 2-3 sausages of your choice (Italian, smoked, chicken, etc.), sliced
- 1 bell pepper, diced (optional)
- 1 small onion, diced (optional)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or thyme
- Aluminum foil
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Prepare the Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the diced potatoes, sliced sausage, bell pepper, onion, and minced garlic.
- Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and dried herbs. Toss everything together until well-coated.
- Assemble the Foil Packets:
- Tear off a piece of aluminum foil (large enough to create a packet for the ingredients).
- Place a portion of the sausage and potato mixture in the center of the foil.
- Fold the foil over the mixture and crimp the edges to seal the packet tightly.
- Air Fry:
- Place the foil packets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and the sausage is cooked through.
- Check for Doneness:
- Carefully open one of the packets to check if the potatoes are fork-tender and the sausage is cooked. If not, reseal and cook for a few more minutes.
- Serve:
- Once done, remove the packets from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. You can eat directly from the foil or transfer the contents to a plate.
Tips:
- You can customize this recipe by adding your favorite vegetables like zucchini, carrots, or broccoli.
- For a bit of heat, add red pepper flakes or your favorite hot sauce.
Enjoy your easy and delicious meal!
