This week’s Sunday Supper is all about root vegetables. What’s your favorite? Mine is very typical. I love potatoes, especially crispy ones.

This recipe is one I developed some years back as an oven-fried potato recipe, just to use up some extra harissa I had sitting around in a can. But having not too long ago finally bought an air-fryer (I got the Actifry) I decided to adapt the recipe for that.
It uses very little oil. I have successfully made crisp potatoes with just a teaspoonful, which was great for weight watchers. They recommend a tablespoonful, but. Whatever. It gets crisp and does not stick.
If you don’t have an Actifry, you can still make this by tossing your potatoes with a little oil and baking them until they crisp up, turning once or twice to brown all sides. It works about the same, if not a little higher in the fats, nutritionally.
But I hope you enjoy. This is good to have with just about anything Greek, Moroccan or Middle Eastern.
And be sure to scroll down and see what other root vegetable recipes the Sunday Supper TasteMakers have been making this week.

I’d love it if you joined in time to make a recipe for the Meatball event I am hosting with SSM next week. What kind of meatballs are your favorites? Or more succinctly put: are there actually ANY meatballs you do NOT like?
So blogging with us or not, be sure to join in and check out the huge selection of recipes that are on their way.
