How To Make These Roasted Pesto Potatoes
- Premake your pesto sauce: If you haven’t made the pesto sauce and you plan to make these roasted potatoes in a few days, save yourself a bit of time the day of by making the sauce a day ahead of time.
- Wash and dry your potatoes: Drying the potatoes allows for the pesto sauce as well as the oil and seasonings to stick.
- Combine & toss your potatoes: Using your pesto, olive oil, truffle salt, and potatoes, combine until incorporated.
- Roast, shake, & serve: Roast the potatoes in your air fryer for 15-20 minutes and shake halfway through. Serve with additional pesto or top with shaved truffles. Enjoy!

Instructions
Pesto Instructions:
- Add you pistachios to a food processor and pulse until small pieces have been achieved.
- Next, add in your remaining ingredients except your olive oil and pulse until desired texture. I do not like to have mine be fully blended as I enjoy a subtle crunch from the pistachios.
- Reserve in the fridge for up to two weeks.
Potato Instructions:
- Using your airfryer, set it to 400 degrees F. Next, add a dollop of extra virgin olive oil to a bowl, as well as 1/2 tbsp of your pesto sauce and any truffle salt. Stir the mixture together and add in your potatoes, tossing until well combined.
- Place your mixed potatoes in your air fryer and roast for 15-20 minutes, shaking halfway through.
- Don't wash the bowl you combined the potatoes in. Once cooked, add them back to the bowl and use to combine any additional pesto or seasonings. Plate, serve, & enjoy!
