Air Fryer
This dish became a fast favorite in our house. Best of all you can change it in any way using bacon instead of sausage or add whatever your family enjoys. I keep the base of eggs and the cheese the same but change it up with anything I have on hand. Although I air fried these, you can also bake them. I also made the filling the night before so in the morning all I have to do is wrap them and pop them in the air fryer. This recipe will make 10-12 rolls.
NOTE- this is my original recipe that won a contest and was published in Taste of Home Magazine. Needless to say it’s a keeper!
INGREDIENTS
4 eggs
1 Tablespoon butter
Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper
4 teaspoons of milk
1/2 pound ground sausage (I used “hot” Jimmy Dean sausage)
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 Tablespoon scallions, I only used the green part
Egg roll wrappers
Maple syrup for serving – optional
DIRECTIONS
Over a medium skillet cook your ground sausage until cooked through and no longer pink. Add both cheeses and scallions. Turn off the heat and set aside.
In another skillet, over medium heat add the butter to melt. In a bowl, crack your eggs, add the salt, pepper, and milk and whisk until combined. Add the egg mixture to your warm skillet and let the eggs set for just a minute. Then using a rubber spatula scrape the set eggs towards the middle of the pan letting more of the egg mixture hit the bottom of the pan to set. Do this until the eggs are cooked and no longer runny.
Once done, add to the sausage mixture and combine. This can be done the night before.
When you are ready to air fry or bake, take one egg roll wrapper at a time and add about 2 Tablespoons of the egg/sausage mixture to the middle of the wrapper. Fold the bottom of the wrapper half way up, fold both sides of the wrapper into the center of the mixture not squishing it. It will look like an envelope then roll the bottom of the wrapper all the way to the top like a burrito. Set aside seam side down. Do this for each roll.
When you are ready to fry, preheat your air fryer to 40o degrees. Add the eggs rolls to the basket not layering them. Spritz with a little olive oil and fry for 4 minutes, turn the rolls over, spritz again with olive oil and fry for an additional 4 minutes or until the rolls are to your desired crispness.
TO BAKE – Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Spritz rolls with olive oil and bake for 8-10 minutes, turn the rolls over, spritz again and continue to bake for another 5-7 minutes or until your desired crispness. Serve warm with maple syrup if desired.

I told you about the Lobster Rangoon’s we ate while in Old Orchard Beach Maine a couple weeks ago, well I knew I had to make them when I got home. Although I did air fry them you can certainly deep fry them or bake them as well. The lobster in Rangoon’s in Maine were diced up fairly thin but although I too diced my lobster I tried to keep it as chunky as I could but still being able to fit in in the wrapper. Jim took a bite of one and said the entire inside was one big chunk of lobster. I’m not toatally sure if that’s good or bad but I do know they were really good. I served these with the option on sauce. Either a sweet chili sauce to add a little bit of heat to the dish or a sweet duck sauce. I preferred the duck sauce but Jim liked the sweet chili sauce. These would be great in the summer as an appetizer or for a holiday party!
INGREDIENTS
Makes 20 Rangoon’s
6-8 ounces of cream cheese, room temperature
The meatbof 2 lobster tails, cooked through and chopped
1 teaspoon Worcester sauce
1 Tablspoon scallions, chopped and using just the green part
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Rangoon wrappers
Water
Olive oil
Sweet chili sauce for serving-optional
Duck sauce for serving – optional
DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl mix the cream cheese, cooked lobster, Worcester sauce, scallions and lemon zest well to combine. Using one Rangoon wrapper at a time place about 1 Tablspoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper. Using your finger wet two of the sides of the wrapper with water to help the side stick together.
Press the sides of the wrapper together forming a triangle and press firmly to close the entire Rangoon as you don’t want the filling to come out when frying. Do this for each wrapper.
When you are ready to fry pre heat your air fryer to 400 degrees, place the Rangoon’s in the fryer not overlapping them, spritz with olive oil and cook for 4 minutes, turn them over , spritz again and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Remove from fryer and continue frying the rest in batches.
Serve with sweet chili sauce or duck sauce.
To Bake- pre heat oven to four hundred. Spritz Rangoon’s with olive oil and bake for 4 minutes, turn them over, spritz and bake until your desired crispness, about 3-4 more minutes.

This is hands down my favorite hot dog recipe! Although I am giving you the air fryer directions, these can easily be put on the grill and cooked as well! The slaw can be made in advance and this can easily be made for a crowd. We shared these and EVERYONE that tried them absolutely loved them saying they were the best hot dogs they have ever had. I know that says a lot. Maybe you have read recipes claiming it’s the best this or that, but I don’t eat hotdogs and don’t like them but I love this recipe. I will be making it many times through the summer!
8 servings
INGREDIENTS
8 hot dogs
8 slices of bacon
8 hot dog buns
1 package coleslaw mix
1 container of Marie’s coleslaw dressing
1 Granny Smith Apple, diced
1 cup Craisins
2 Tablespoons pure maple syrup
Fresh cracked pepper
Pickled jalapeño peppers-optional
DIRECTIONS
Wrap each slice of bacon around each hot dog. Place 4 of the wrapped hotdogs in the air fryer. Fry at 400 degrees for 9 minutes turn the hotdogs over and fry again for another 9 minutes or until bacon is cooked to your desired crispness. If you want the buns toasted take the hot dogs out a couple minutes early, place the hotdogs in the buns, place them back in the fryer and continue to cook for two more minutes or until desired toast is achieved.
Meanwhile make the slaw by putting the slaw mix in a large bowl, adding the slaw dressing, Craisins, diced apple, maple syrup and cracked pepper. Mix well coating all of the slaw with the dressing.
Top the hot dogs with the slaw and add pickled jalapeños. Serve immediately.

I found this recipe on Food Network and have made it multiple times as it has quickly become a family favorite. I made them in the air fryer but will give the directions for oven roasted as well. This is a great gluten-free side dish for all of your gluten-free friends or in my case, our son Robby. Robby has been known to take seconds and even thirds of this dish so I always make plenty!
INGREDIENTS
2 pounds potatoes, diced- I used the small gold potatoes
1 cup of mayonnaise
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 Tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons sugar
Salt
Pepper
Olive oil
for garnish-optional
FOR THE OVEN METHOD YOU WILL NEED
2 Tablespoons unsalted Butter
(Second picture are the potatoes before sauce went on)
DIRECTIONS
Place the diced potatoes in a bowl and drizzle with enough olive oil to coat them. Transfer them to the air fryer and fry at 400 degrees for 18 minutes stirring half way through. Keep in mind air fryers vary in size and temp. While the potatoes are frying you can make the sauce by combining the mayonnaise, white vinegar, paprika, and sugar in a small bowl and mix well. When the potatoes are done transfer them to a serving dish, season with salt and pepper and stir. Add the sauce and stir again until well combined. Add chives if desired. Serve immediately.
BAKED VERSION
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil, add the potatoes until slightly tender 4-6 minutes depending on the size of potatoes. Drain and pat dry.
Scatter the potatoes on a baking sheet, season with salt and pepper, drizzle with melted butter and toss to coat using tongs. Roast until dark brown and crispy 30 -45 minutes stirring half way through.
Make the dressing as directed as above and add to the potatoes when they are done roasting in the oven and transfer to a serving bowl.

I recently purchased a Philips XXL Air Fryer and have loved it! This was one of the first recipes I tried. This makes enough for 2 people and It could not have been any easier or more delicious! Most air fryer recipes can be done in the oven as well and this recipe could easily be adapted to baking it. If I were to bake it I would put the corn and the potatoes on a sheet pan and bake for about 30 minutes at 375 degrees, stir veggies and add the sliced kielbasa and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are cooked through.
INGREDIENTS
2 frozen half ears of corn (can use fresh but this is what I had on hand. If using fresh, cooking time will be same as kielbasa and potatoes )
1 fully cooked kielbasa-sliced into rounds
3 cups small diced potatoes
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Butter to spread on corn when done
DIRECTIONS
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the corn and add the corn into your air fryer. Cook at 350 degrees for ten minutes. Open the air fryer and add the kielbasa and diced potatoes that you have also drizzled with olive oil. Add salt and pepper over all of the kielbasa, sausage, potatoes, and stir. Continue cooking for an additional ten minutes. Mine were done at this point but depending on the model and size cooking time may vary.
Remove from fryer, add butter to your corn and serve.
Enjoy!
