Air-Fried Golden Potatoes

Prepare the Potatoes:

• Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes.
  4 large golden potatoes

Season the Potatoes:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the peeled potato cubes with salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of oil. Toss to coat the potatoes evenly with the seasoning.
  1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1 Tablespoon olive oil

Air Fry the Potatoes:

• Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
• Place the seasoned peeled potato cubes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd them. Cook in batches, if needed.
• Air fry the potatoes for approximately 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, shaking the basket or tossing the potatoes halfway through for even cooking.

Harissa Onion Sauce

Sauté the Onion and Garlic:

• In a separate skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
  1 Tablespoon olive oil, 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
• Add the chopped yellow onion and garlic, and sauté until they become translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  1/2 yellow onion, 2 cloves garlic

Add Harissa and Sun-Dried Tomato Paste:

• Stir in the harissa paste and sun-dried tomato paste, combining them with the sautéed onions. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Combine with Potatoes:

• Once the peeled potatoes are air-fried and crispy, transfer them to the skillet with the harissa onion sauce. Toss everything together to ensure the potatoes are coated with the flavorful sauce.

Whipped Tahini Sauce

Prepare the Tahini Base:

• In a bowl, combine the tahini paste, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, and olive oil.
  1/2 cup tahini paste, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 2 cloves garlic, 2 Tablespoons olive oil

Whip the Sauce:

• Use a whisk or fork to vigorously mix the ingredients together. At first, the mixture may seize up and become thick.

Add Water:

• Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to whisk. Keep whisking until the sauce becomes smooth and reaches your desired consistency. Add 2-3 tablespoons of water as needed.
  2-3 Tablespoons water

Season with Salt:

• Taste the whipped tahini sauce and add salt to your liking. Adjust the lemon juice or water if needed to balance the flavors. Add a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
