Air Fryer Kielbasa And Potatoes Hash

This is one of my life-saving last-minute dinner ideas on those nights when I need food on the table fast. Air fryer kielbasa and potatoes hash is a hearty dish that you can have ready in 30 minutes. We love serving it with some crusty bread and butter, a side salad, or a vegetable, for a balanced but satisfying meal!

We have been making a version of this for years. Moving it to the air fryer was a game-changer! Everything gets wonderfully roasted and a little crispy, and the cleanup is an absolute breeze.

It’s a jumble of smoky kielbasa, tender potatoes, and sweet peppers and onions all tossed in a bit of BBQ sauce. It’s the kind of simple, hearty meal that even gets a thumbs-up from my son.

Serve this up with some crusty Dutch oven bread to sop up the sauce, a simple side salad, and you have a fantastic, balanced meal that will have everyone asking for seconds.

🥔 Ingredients

✅Kielbasa – I picked up the package at the grocery store. There were several different varieties, but we prefer the generic Polska (Polish) variety.

✅Potatoes – Most potatoes will be fine in this recipe. I prefer to stick with a Russet or Yukon gold variety because they cook up perfectly. You could opt for a red potato, but they will be a little mushier.

Sweet potatoes are another great option to try as well. You can try it with all sorts of potatoes until you find what you like the best.

✅Red Pepper

✅BBQ Sauce

✅Garlic Salt

✅Seasoned Salt

✅Pepper

✅Olive Oil

🍽️  Instructions

The flavors in this comforting dish are out of this world. This is fantastic for feeding a crowd, and even the kids will go to town and gobble it up. There is no wrong way to make it either. Take a look at these simple directions.

👉Step 1: Begin by washing the potatoes. Then, rinse off the red pepper and peel the onion. Set aside.

👉Step 2: Chop up the potatoes, onions, and red pepper in bite-size pieces. Cut the Kielbasa with a serrated knife into 1/8 inch disks, and add them to the bowl. Spray everything with a little bit of spray olive oil, and toss lightly.

👉Step 3: Add a bit of garlic salt, seasoned salt, and pepper. Next, add the barbecue sauce and toss again gently.  

👉Step 4: Cook in the air fryer at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Stop the air fryer every 8-10 minutes through cooking to flip the kielbasa, potatoes, and peppers. Then continue cooking.

👉Step 5: Remove the meal from the Air Fryer and add a little more BBQ sauce on top. Serve on plates or in large bowls.

🍲 Meal Prep

📌This recipe is excellent for making ahead of time. You can completely cook it and keep it in the fridge for up to 4 days. This is a perfect recipe to start meal prepping lunches for the week, as you can get a couple of days worth, like we talk about in Meal Prep 101.

📌Warm it up in the air fryer, a skillet with a little bit of olive oil, or in your microwave. Don’t overcook it, or it may dry out. I usually add some extra barbecue sauce right before serving leftovers.

📌To save yourself time, chop up the onions, peppers, and potatoes and store them in the fridge. They will last 5-7 days if they are kept airtight and can be added to all sorts of recipes.

🥘 Expert Tips

• Swap the Kielbasa with any cooked sausage-style meat like andouille, chicken sausages, polish sausages, etc.
• Consider sprinkling with shredded cheese once you are finished cooking for added flavor.
• Add in some sliced, thicker-style cabbage towards the end to lighten up the meal and add some crunchy texture.
• Ensure your potatoes are evenly cut so they will be done at the same time. They will take the longest to cook fully.
