The recipe will be similar whether you are using a basket style air fryer or an air fryer oven.
Some air fryer models cook hotter or quicker than others, if this is the first time making sausage patties in an air fryer, check for doneness a couple of minutes before the cook time states to make sure your unit isn't cooking faster.
