How To Make Easy Air Fryer Greek Fries

Step One: Following the manufacturer’s instructions, preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F, air fryer setting, for 3-5 minutes, and spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.

Step Two: Use a potato slicer to cut potatoes into French fry shapes, or manually cut potatoes into ¼-inch strips—toss potatoes in a large bowl with oil, lemon zest, and Greek seasoning.

Step Three: Arrange potatoes in an air fryer basket in a single layer. If using a smaller air fryer – you may need to work in batches. Air Fry with a cook time of 12-15 minutes, stopping to flip with tongs about halfway through.

Step Four: Remove from the air fryer and crumble feta cheese, tzatziki, onion, and parsley. Garnish with optional toppings such as olives, peppers, and fresh dill sprigs.

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.
