Steps
To prepare potatoes and peppers in an air fryer, start by cleaning the vegetables. Wash the peppers under running water, dry them with paper towels, remove the caps, cut the peppers into four parts, and remove the white filaments and seeds. Cut the peppers into cubes or strips.
Wash the potatoes, peel them with a potato peeler, cut them into four parts, and then into cubes or wedges that are not too thick.
In a bowl, combine the potatoes and peppers, season with salt to taste, and add 2/3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil (or a few sprays). Mix well. Place the potatoes and peppers in the air fryer basket, cook at 356°F (180°C) for 20/25 minutes, remembering to stir occasionally.
The potato and pepper side dish is ready to be served.
Storage
The potatoes and peppers in the air fryer can be stored in the fridge for a couple of days in a container with an airtight seal. When you are ready to eat the side dish, warm it for a few minutes.
