Notes

Achieving perfect air-fried sausage patties hinges on precise temperature control and proper circulation. Always preheat your air fryer to ensure an even, golden-brown crust and consistent cooking from the start. Overcrowding the basket will lead to steaming rather than frying, resulting in less desirable texture; cook in batches if necessary. While the recipe suggests a specific cooking time, always rely on an instant-read thermometer to confirm an internal temperature of at least 160°F (70°C) for food safety. Consider a light sprinkle of black pepper or a pinch of sage before cooking for an enhanced flavor profile, or serve with a side of maple syrup for a sweet and savory contrast.
