the potatoes, or quarter any big ones, and them in a bowl with the oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Halve. Halving means cutting something into two equal pieces. Even halves cook at the same speed, so one doesn’t dry out while the other finishes.
How you’ll know: The two pieces look like mirror images of each other.
Toss. Tossing means gently lifting and turning food so everything gets coated, like pasta in sauce or vegetables in oil. It coats every piece evenly without mashing anything.
How you’ll know: Every piece looks glossy or evenly coated, with no dry spots hiding underneath.
Heat the air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes.
Timer: 3 min
Air fry the potatoes 12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway.

While they cook, cut the kielbasa into 1-inch pieces. Stir the mustard and honey together in the same bowl and the kielbasa in half of it.

Add the kielbasa to the basket, shake, and air fry 8 to 10 minutes, until the potatoes are and the kielbasa is sizzling with dark caramelized edges.
Fork-tender. Fork-tender means cooked until a fork slides in with almost no push. It’s how you know potatoes, carrots or slow-cooked meat are soft all the way through.
How you’ll know: The fork slides in and out easily, and meat pulls apart with very little effort.

Dolly’s tip: The honey darkens fast at the end. Dark amber is good; black is too far.Tip everything into the bowl with the rest of the honey mustard, , and top with parsley.
