Ingredients
- 1 lb of baby gold potatoes (Yukon gold or baby creamers work best)
- 1 tablespoons olive oil (or an olive oil alternative for a lighter version)
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed for the best flavor)
- 1/2 tablespoon Cavender’s Greek seasoning (Cavender’s Greek seasoning is my favorite, but any blend of dried oregano, thyme, and garlic powder can substitute)
- 1/2 tablespoon Dried Oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This ensures your potatoes start cooking at the right temperature for that perfect golden exterior. It’s the first step in our air fryer Greek potatoes recipe.
2. While the air fryer is preheating, choose between Yukon gold, baby creamers, or any firm potato that holds up well to roasting. And wash and cut your chosen potatoes into uniform pieces. This uniformity is key for even cooking.
3. Mix the ingredients in a large bowl. Toss your potato pieces with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the juice of half a lemon, 1-2 teaspoons of Greek seasoning, and a pinch of salt. Coating each piece well is crucial for giving potatoes that authentic flavor.
4. Arrange the potatoes in the air fryer basket. Spread them out in a single layer to ensure they cook evenly. This might mean cooking in batches, but it’s worth it.
5. Cook the potatoes for about 15 minutes. Shake the basket or toss the potatoes halfway through to promote an even golden color and crispiness.
6. Check for doneness. Your Greek potatoes should be beautifully golden and fork-tender. If not, cook for an additional 5 minutes and check again.
7. Serve hot. These potatoes are best enjoyed fresh from the air fryer, sprinkled with a little extra Greek seasoning or fresh herbs.
Notes
Remember, all air fryers are a bit different. Keep an eye on your potatoes the first time you try this recipe to find the perfect timing for your specific model.
