Instructions:
1. Prepare the Ingredients:
Rinse and dry the potatoes, then chop them into bite-sized pieces. Cut the smoked sausage into ½-inch slices.
2. Season the Potatoes:
In a mixing bowl, combine the potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper, ensuring they are well coated.
3. Preheat the Air Fryer:
Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat for 3-5 minutes.
4. Cook the Potatoes:
Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time.
5. Add Sausage (and Peppers):
After 10 minutes, incorporate the sliced sausage (and bell peppers, if desired) into the basket. Toss the mixture and continue cooking for an additional 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
6. Check for Doneness:
The potatoes should be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, while the sausage should be browned and juicy.
7. Serve:
Transfer the dish to a serving platter, garnish with fresh parsley if you like, and enjoy while warm.
