""Farmer's breakfast" or the Bauernfrüstück is one of those absolute German classics that do super well in the air fryer. Who says rustic can't go into the new trendy air fryers? It's still the hearty and satisfying meal we all know and love. Same addition of pickles adds that delightful tang all the same as the original. If you also have leftover boiled potatoes, use them! They'll be extra crispy and golden on the pan, into the air fryer. The charming Bauernfrüstück celebrates simplicity, and this time, the celebration in your new favorite kitchen appliance."
