→ Seasonings

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
13 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
14 -
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
# Steps:
01 -
Peel and cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Rinse under cold water, pat dry, and place in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, toss to coat, and season with 1 teaspoon seasoned salt.
02 -
Air fry the potatoes at 400°F for 15–20 minutes, tossing periodically to ensure even crisping.
03 -
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the onion, Italian sausage, and ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess grease and season with 1 teaspoon each of seasoned salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
04 -
To the skillet, add marinara sauce, a few pepperoni slices, and ½ cup bacon bits. Stir to combine, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top, followed by the remaining pepperoni slices and bacon bits.
05 -
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake at 350°F for 10–15 minutes. Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end to melt the cheese and achieve a golden-brown finish.
06 -
Serve warm. To maintain crisp potatoes, consider serving the meat and sauce mixture over the potatoes just before eating.
# Tips:
01 -
Rinsing the diced potatoes well removes excess starch, allowing them to crisp up perfectly in the air fryer.
02 -
Feel free to experiment with your favorite pizza toppings.
03 -
If you don’t have an air fryer, bake the diced potatoes on a baking sheet at 400°F for 30–40 minutes until golden and tender.
