Description

Crispy Air Fryer Greek Lemon Potatoes are golden and crunchy outside, soft and fluffy inside, and packed with bright lemon, garlic, and oregano flavor. This easy Mediterranean side dish comes together in just 30 minutes with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients 

  • 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, or baby gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 1 teaspoon Greek seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, feta cheese, and olives, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease the basket. Wash, dry, and cut the potatoes into even 1-inch chunks.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, Greek seasoning, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the potatoes and toss until evenly coated.
  • Using tongs, transfer the potatoes to the air fryer basket, leaving the leftover lemon-oil mixture in the bowl. Air fry at 400°F for 10 minutes.
  • Return the potatoes to the bowl and toss again in the reserved mixture. Air fry for another 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket once or twice, until golden brown and fork-tender.
  • Transfer to a serving bowl and top with fresh parsley, a squeeze of lemon, and feta or olives if desired. Serve hot.

Equipment

Notes

  • For extra-crispy potatoes, toss 1/2 teaspoon baking powder in with the seasonings.
  • Soaking cut potatoes in cold water for 15 minutes (then drying well) removes starch and boosts crispiness.
  • Cook times vary by air fryer — start checking at 18 minutes total.
  • Reheat in the air fryer at 375°F for 3–4 minutes to restore the crisp.
