These delicious air fryer fingerling potatoes with harissa aioli make for such a flavorful and easy appetizer or side dish!
Potatoes always make the perfect side dish. Whether, it’s mashed potatoes, fries, candied sweet potatoes, scalloped potatoes, or roasted baby red potatoes. The list goes on and on. However, fingerling potatoes are always one of my favorites. Making them in the air fryer is the most easy and quick way to prepare them. Serve them with a delicious dipping sauce and you are set. In this case, it’s a harissa aioli that I ended up drizzling on. It’s packed with flavor.
What is Harissa?
Harissa is a spicy and aromatic chile paste that’s a used a lot in North African and Middle Eastern cooking. Harissa recipes depend on the country but typically include a mixture of smoked hot Chile peppers, oil, garlic and spices like cumin and coriander. Also, it’s pretty spicy so a little bit goes a long way.
I get my harissa paste at Trader Joe’s and I love it, it’s very well balanced. You can find it in most grocery stores or even buy it on Amazon. Just keep in mind, some are mild and spicy. I find the Trader Joe’s one to have the perfect amount of heat.
