Equipment

  • Air Fryer – 1 unit
  • Cutting Board: 1 unit
  • Knife: 1 unit
  • Large Bowl: 1 unit
  • Tongs: 1 unit (optional for flipping potatoes)

Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium potatoes Russet or Yukon Gold
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 large lemon juice and zest
  • 2-3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1-2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish, optional
  • Crumbled feta cheese optional for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and peel (optional) the potatoes.
    Cut each potato into evenly-sized wedges. Pat the wedges dry with a paper towel.
  • Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
    Make sure the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  • Cook the Potatoes: Place the seasoned potato wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
    Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 18-20 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through for even crispiness.
  • Check for Doneness: After 18-20 minutes, check if the potatoes are golden and crispy on the outside.
    Test with a fork to make sure the inside is tender. If needed, cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.
  • Serve: Remove the potatoes from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving dish.
    Garnish with fresh parsley or crumbled feta cheese, if desired. Serve immediately!

Notes

  • Potato Variety: Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes work best for this recipe, as they create a crispy exterior and fluffy interior. Waxy potatoes like red potatoes may not crisp up as well but can still be used.
  • Flavor Adjustments: If you prefer more garlic flavor, increase the garlic to 4-5 cloves. You can also experiment with adding red pepper flakes for a spicy kick or fresh thyme for an additional layer of flavor.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, simply pop them back in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes for a crispy texture.
  • Serving Suggestions: Pair these potatoes with grilled meats like lamb, chicken, or fish, or serve them alongside a fresh Greek salad or tzatziki for a Mediterranean-inspired meal.
