Key Ingredients You Need

• Potatoes — You can use any variety of potatoes, but Yukon gold, baby red potatoes, or baby gold potatoes are great options.
• Oil — I use olive oil, but you can use any high smoke point oil, such as avocado oil.
• Lemon — I recommend using fresh lemon juice for the best flavor. You’ll also need lemon zest, so I suggest grabbing a lemon at the store. Don’t skip the lemon zest, as it adds a ton of fresh citrus flavor.

How to Make Air Fryer Greek Lemon Potatoes

Step 1: Cut the potatoes into chunks, about ½” thick.

Step 2: Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl and toss with olive oil.

Step 3: Add the lemon juice and lemon zest.

Step 4: Finish off with the garlic, oregano, and salt. Toss to combine.

Step 5: Add the potatoes into the air fryer basket and cook at 350 F for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing halfway through the cooking time.

Step 6: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and an additional squeeze of lemon if desired.

Tips For This Recipe

• If you prefer to use fresh oregano, you can swap the 2 teaspoons of dried oregano to 2 tablespoons of fresh oregano.
• Make sure to shake the basket midway through cooking to help the potatoes air fry evenly.
• Cut your potatoes into uniform pieces so they cook uniformly.
• The cooking time may vary based on your air fryer brand and the size of the model you have. Check the potatoes for doneness at 25 minutes by piercing the potatoes with a fork before continuing.
• If you have the time, you can soak the potatoes in cold water for around 15 minutes to help remove some of the starchiness leading to crispier potatoes. Make sure to pat them dry after.
• When zesting the lemon, make sure only to zest the yellow part. The white layer underneath is bitter.
