Description

This Air Fryer Sausage Gravy Breakfast Skillet layers crispy air-fried hash browns with creamy homemade sausage gravy for a hearty breakfast in just 30 minutes. It's an easy, budget-friendly air fryer breakfast the whole family will love.

Ingredients 

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage, ground
  • 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups milk

Instructions

  • In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add the frozen shredded hash browns to the air fryer basket. Air fry at 350°F for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden and crisp.
  • Stir the flour, salt, and black pepper into the cooked sausage and let it coat everything for about 1 minute.
  • Pour in the milk and cook, stirring, until the gravy thickens, about 2 to 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the crispy hash browns to a small air-fryer-safe baking pan or cast iron plate. Pour the sausage gravy over the top and air fry at 370°F for another 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Plate, serve hot, and enjoy.

Equipment

Notes

  • Gravy thickens as it sits — whisk in a splash of milk to loosen it, or simmer longer to thicken.
  • Every air fryer runs differently, so watch the hash browns the first time and adjust timing.
  • Make it gluten-free by swapping in a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat at 300°F with a splash of milk.
