Ingredients

  • 3 large gold or yellow potatoes (such as Yukon) ~850-1000g
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon oregano or italian herbs
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Sauce

  • 1 large lemon, juiced
  • ¼ cup finely diced parsley
  • cup garlic hummus + ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Splash water as needed to thin sauce

Instructions

  • Cut potatoes into 2 inch cubes. Place potatoes in an ice bath for 10 minutes to remove the starch. Drain and rinse potatoes and pat dry with a paper towel or cloth.
    3 large gold or yellow potatoes (such as Yukon)
  • Add dried potatoes to a large bowl. Add olive oil and spices and toss until combined. Air fry for 24-26 min at 400F, shaking every 5-7 minutes if you are doing one large batch. Potatoes should be golden browned and crispy.
    1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon oregano or italian herbs, ½ teaspoon salt
  • While the potatoes are cooking, mix sauce ingredients together in a small bowl until combined. Add more water as needed for desired sauce consistency.
    1 large lemon, juiced, ¼ cup finely diced parsley, ⅓ cup garlic hummus + ½ teaspoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon olive oil, ¼ teaspoon salt, Splash water
  • I recommend drizzling sauce on individual servings of potatoes to avoid leftovers getting soggy (unless you plan on eating the whole dish at once, such as for a gathering, then I recommend tossing all the potatoes in the sauce and serve immediately.)
    Optional: add more diced parsley for pretty garnish!
    Store leftover potatoes and sauce separately for up to 3 days and reheat potatoes in the air fryer for 5 minutes (400 F) to regain crispiness.

Notes

⭐️You don't have to peel your potatoes, just make sure to wash them well. 
Other tips:
  • If you don't have an air fryer, you can roast these potatoes at 425 F for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown. 
  • You can air fry all your potatoes in one round, but make sure you are shaking every 5-7 minutes to get them evenly cooked. 
  • I HIGHLY recommend only putting sauce on potatoes you plan to eat so that the leftover potatoes are easy to reheat in the air fryer and won't get soggy from the sauce.
  • You can try this recipe with other types of potatoes: white, red, fingerling, purple,
