CAN I ADD PEPPERS AND ONIONS TO AIR FRYER BREAKSFAST POTATOES?
I haven't tested a recipe with potatoes, onions, and peppers yet, but I bet you can!
I might partially cook the vegetables first so that they are finished at the same time as the potatoes and don't add too much moisture to the potatoes.
If you try it, please come back and let me know how it was.
HOW TO SEASON BREAKFAST POTATOES
I enjoy the seasonings of this recipe, but many different types of seasoning can be used to change things up.
The great thing about potatoes is they are so versatile!
Try Italian seasoning, ranch seasoning, or any other blend that you like.
If you like your breakfast potatoes a little bit more spicy, add some hot sauce.
