Frequently Asked Questions
Can I skip the eggs?
Yes, the hash is still delicious without eggs. You can also fry or poach eggs separately if preferred.
What kind of sausage works best?
Breakfast sausage is great, but you can also use ground turkey, chicken sausage, or chopped chorizo for added spice.
Can I use white potatoes instead of sweet potatoes?
Absolutely. Just make sure they’re diced small so they cook through evenly.
What tray should I use?
Use any small baking tray or pan that fits inside your air fryer basket. Avoid stacking ingredients too thickly for even cooking.
