How To Make Easy Air Fryer Greek Fries

Easy Air Fryer Greek Fries Recipe Tips

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: Russet potatoes are often preferred for fries due to their starchy content.
  • Even Cutting: Cut evenly to promote uniform cooking. Thicker cuts can be used for a heartier bite but ensure consistency in size.
  • Soaking: Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
  • Dry Thoroughly: Dry the potato strips completely using a kitchen towel or paper towel before seasoning or cooking.
  • Season Generously: Consider seasonings such as oregano, garlic powder, and a little lemon zest.
  • Add Olive Oil: Toss the fries lightly in olive oil before air frying.
  • Avoid Overcrowding: Place the fries in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  • Shake or Turn: Halfway through the cooking process, shake the fries.
  • Monitor Closely: Depending on the thickness of your fries and the specific air fryer model, cooking times may vary.

Storing, Freezing & Reheating Instructions

  • Storing: Keep any leftover Greek fries in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. They’ll lose some crispness, but the flavor still hits.
  • Freezing: Lay cooked fries on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. They’ll keep for up to 2 months and reheat surprisingly well.
  • Reheating: Pop them back in the air fryer at 375°F for 3–5 minutes until hot and crispy again. Skip the microwave — it turns them sad and soggy.
