Love sausages and chips, then you must try air fryer sausage and chips. Cooking both the sausage and the chips together with the option of adding eggs and beans if you would like, it’s a great classic dinner in the air fryer.
Plus, you can mix and match with your favourite sausages such as Richmond, from the butchers or even chipolatas.
Making sausage and chips in an air fryer is a quick and easy meal. Here’s a simple recipe:
### Ingredients:
– 4 sausages (pork, chicken, or veggie)
– 2 large potatoes (or pre-cut frozen chips)
– 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional: paprika, garlic powder, or other seasonings
### Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Potatoes (if using fresh):**
– Peel (optional) and cut the potatoes into chips (fries) of your desired thickness.
– Rinse the cut potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
– In a bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings you like.
2. **Preheat the Air Fryer:**
– Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) for 3-5 minutes.
3. **Cook the Chips:**
– Place the chips in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
– Check for doneness; the chips should be golden and crispy. If they need more time, cook in 2-3 minute increments until they reach your desired crispiness.
4. **Cook the Sausages:**
– While the chips are cooking, prepare the sausages by piercing them with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
– After the chips have cooked for 10 minutes, add the sausages to the air fryer basket. Cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they are fully cooked and browned.
5. **Serve:**
– Once the sausages and chips are cooked, serve them immediately. Add any condiments or sauces you like, such as ketchup, mustard, or a dipping sauce.
### Tips:
– **For Extra Crispiness:** If using fresh potatoes, soak the cut chips in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This helps to remove more starch and results in crispier chips.
– **Timing:** If your air fryer is small, you may need to cook the chips and sausages separately to avoid overcrowding the basket.
Enjoy your air fryer sausage and chips!
