Ingredients
Potatoes: use large potatoes or baby potatoes
Kielbasa sausages: these are precooked Polish sausages, they are smoky, juicy, and delicious. If you can't find this type if sausage where you live, feel free to use any other smoked sausages such as chorizo. For a healthier version sub with turkey or chicken kielbasa.
Onion: I used brown onion for its sweetness but you can use any type and color of onions you want.
Olive oil: this can be substituted with any other flavorless oil of choice.
All-purpose seasoning, I used my homemade all-purpose seasoning and it contains onion granules, garlic granules, thyme, parsley and oregano, and smoked paprika.
Garlic granules: substitute with garlic powder, fresh garlic might burn depending on how you cut so, I wouldn't recommend it.

How to make air fryer potato and sausage
Preheat your air fryer to 180C/360F.
Peel and dice the potatoes into small bite-sized cubes and add them to a large bowl of cold water. Rinse the potatoes a few times under cold running water until the water is clear.
Pat the potatoes dry with a kitchen towel and transfer them to a large bowl. Season the potatoes with all purpose seasoning, garlic granules, salt, black pepper, and half of the olive oil. Mix or toss to combine.
Add the seasoned potatoes to the preheated air fryer basket and air fry for 10-12 minutes shaking the basket halfway. The potatoes should be fork-tender and about 90-95% done at this point.

Just curious if leftovers would freeze well or would the potatoes go mushy or turn black
Ajoke says
Hi Bev, I haven't personally frozen these before because they don't last that long honestly. I think you should be able to freeze it, just cook it directly from frozen in the air fryer or oven when you are ready to eat it. If you do try it, kindly let me know so we can all learn. Thank you
