Instructions
- Have all ingredients prepped and ready before you start cooking. Tip: Use the checkboxes next to each ingredient to track your prep.
- Mix 2 tablespoons of cooking oil with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon ground black pepper in a big bowl, add potatoes and toss until well combined.
- Transfer the seasoned potatoes to your air fryer that’s preheated to 400°F (204°C). Spread them out in a single layer for even cooking. Air fry for about 18 to 22 minutes. Carefully shake/toss halfway through for even cooking. Cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer and the size of your potato pieces.
- You can also roast them in the oven at 400°F (204°C) for 45 to 60 minutes on a baking sheet. To check if they’re done, pierce a few with a fork. If it slides in easily, they’re ready. If not, let them go a little longer.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine all the dressing ingredients except the butter and garlic (that is, dried dill, lemon juice, lemon zest, dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, honey, and chicken bouillon). Set aside.
- Melt butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add minced/grated garlic and let it sizzle 5 to 10 seconds. Turn off the heat, then add the dressing mixture you made and stir it all together.
- Transfer the cooked potatoes to a large bowl. Add the lemon dill dressing and toss gently until the potatoes are evenly coated.
- Top with fresh chopped parsley or cilantro if you like, and enjoy! If you try this recipe, I'd love to hear how it turned out in your kitchen. Leave your rating and comment below.
Notes
Note A: Red Pepper Flakes – Feel free to replace these with a some minced small fresh chili, like Thai or bird’s eye. Gives the dish a different kind of heat and dimension. Adjust the amount to taste.
