Fry some potatoes and layer them with arugula and hummus to make a salad with warm potatoes. It’s bold, hearty, and a healthy filling meal.
Jump to RecipeSalad with potatoes, not to be confused with potato salad, is a great way to use up some extras you may have in the fridge. At least, that’s what we did!
For the hummus, I put together a batch of my garlic hummus recipe. We had potatoes in the refrigerator that were just starting to go soft, and arugula leftover from a client recipe. Put it all together and we had a salad with warm potatoes and hummus.
The arugula gives it a strong flavor. If it’s too much for you, I think this would also work well with spinach leaves. Or, you can purchase a mix of spinach and arugula.

Salad with Warm Potatoes and Hummus Step by Step
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 2 lb white potatoes, diced
- 10 oz garlic hummus
- 3 oz arugula
- 3 tbsp sliced green onions
- 1 lemon, wedged

Preparation
Heat 3 tbsp of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Spread the hummus on a serving platter.

Top the hummus with about two-thirds of the arugula.

Arrange the potatoes next.

Then sprinkle on the green onions and remaining arugula.

Drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil and serve warm with lemon wedges.

Leftovers
In my opinion, the leftovers won’t keep. We made just enough to eat this fresh. The only way you could do leftovers is to cook the potatoes, then store everything separately and build the salad when you are ready to serve.
