These air-fried herbed potatoes are tossed in a lemon-garlic-herb sauce with Vimergy’s Total Immune Blend stirred in after cooking, a tincture of zinc, mullein, and thyme. Adding the tincture after the potatoes are done, rather than during cooking, helps preserve its properties. It’s a simple side dish for a weeknight dinner or for anyone in the house who’s feeling run down.
Key Takeaways
- Add Total Immune Blend to the sauce after the potatoes are cooked, never before, to help preserve the tincture’s properties
- Thyme, oregano, and rosemary each bring antiviral and antibacterial support according to Medical Medium® Information
- Steaming the potatoes before air frying preserves their nutritional value while still getting a crispy, golden finish
- The tincture disappears completely into the lemon-herb sauce, kids won’t notice it’s there
I am always looking for simple ways to get more healing foods and supplements into my family’s meals, especially in a form my kids will actually eat without complaining.
VIMERGY’s Total Immune Blend is a tincture that contains zinc, mullein, and thyme. When I first tasted it, I noticed how savory and mild it was. Unlike most tinctures, it doesn’t fight the flavor of food. That gave me the idea for this recipe.
I built a simple lemon-herb sauce around it, roasted some potatoes in the air fryer, and that was that. My family asks for this dish regularly now. My kids love these potatoes and happily go back for seconds. They have no idea there is a healing tincture in the sauce.
One important thing to know before you make this. I never heat the tincture. I add Total Immune Blend to the sauce after the potatoes are cooked. This helps preserve the healing properties of the tincture.
Why These Healing Foods Matter
Potatoes are one of the most misunderstood foods. So many people avoid them, thinking they’re just empty carbs.
Potatoes
Anthony William shares in Life-Changing Foods that potatoes provide critical glucose, minerals, and nutrients the body can use right away. They are especially supportive for the nervous system, liver, and brain, making them one of the most healing carbohydrates available. Potatoes are also deeply satisfying, which is one of the reasons they can be so helpful when transitioning away from less supportive foods.
I always steam my potatoes before roasting or air frying them. Steaming helps preserve their nutritional value, while the air fryer gives them that crispy, golden outside that makes this dish so satisfying.
Thyme
Thyme is one of the most powerful antiviral herbs available to us. According to Medical Medium® Information, thyme is both anti-streptococcal and antiviral, and its healing properties build up in the body over time, meaning the more consistently you use it, the more protective it becomes.
It can help target pathogens that are often difficult to address. Even its aroma carries healing qualities. In Brain Saver, thyme tea is included as one of the shock therapies, which speaks to the remarkable healing potential of this herb. This recipe combines fresh thyme with the thyme already found in Total Immune Blend, bringing even more of this powerful herb into the meal.
Oregano
Oregano is a powerful herb for supporting the digestive tract and lymphatic system. According to Medical Medium® Information, oregano is strongly antiviral and antibacterial, and it addresses strep, EBV, and other pathogens that can take hold in the gut. If you have SIBO, Candida, yeast issues, and other pathogens that can create imbalances in the body, this herb can help you stabilize your gut. If you are working on gut health, oregano is one of the most valuable herbs to keep in your kitchen. Anthony says oregano tea or juiced oregano is more helpful. One thing worth knowing is that the oil of oregano is not the same as the herb itself. For this recipe, use fresh or dried oregano.
Rosemary
Rosemary offers remarkable support for the brain, liver, digestive system, and immune system. Rosemary is antibacterial, antifungal, and deeply anti-inflammatory, and one of its unique qualities is its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, which means its healing properties reach far beyond the digestive system, traveling directly to support brain tissue and the nervous system. It is also rich in minerals that help strengthen the body and support overall health. Even its aroma carries healing compounds throughout the body.
Total Immune Blend
Total Immune Blend brings together thyme, mullein leaf, and zinc in one easy-to-use tincture. Mullein is well known for supporting the respiratory system and helping to clear mucus from the lungs and airways. Zinc is one of the most important minerals for immune health and plays a critical role in helping the body defend itself against pathogens. Together, these ingredients make Total Immune Blend an easy way to bring additional healing support into everyday meals.
Herbed Potatoes
Equipment
- 1 large mixing bowl
- 1 Blender

Notes
- Fastest way to juice lemons: peel them, blend whole on high, then strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove the pith. Done in 30 seconds.
- Use organic potatoes when possible. If organic isn't available, peel them. Pesticide residue concentrates in the skin.
- No air fryer? Roast at 400°F / 205°C for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Add the sauce after the potatoes come out of the air fryer, not before. This helps preserve the healing properties of the tincture.
I always want my food to taste good. If it doesn’t taste good, my family won’t eat it, and there’s no point in a healing recipe that sits untouched.
That’s why I love creating healing recipes like this one. It’s a perfect example of how medicinal food can also be delicious.
The lemon, garlic, and herbs do all the work here. The tincture disappears into the sauce completely.
Make this for a weeknight dinner. Make it when someone in your house is feeling run down. Either way, it is worth having in your regular rotation.
