Air Fryer Greek Potatoes are lemony and delicious. They roast perfectly in the air fryer so the outside gets crispy while the inside stays fluffy. They are inspired by Greek flavors and cook in less than 20 minutes.

These roasted potatoes are inspired by Greek flavors and ingredients. They pair olive oil and oregano with the brightness of lemon juice. Every time I make these, I just cannot stop eating them! They use similar ingredients and flavors as our popular Air Fryer Greek Chicken Thighs.

Why roast potatoes in the air fryer:

  • Outside gets crispy and inside gets creamy.
  • Quick and easy - quicker than the oven.
  • No need to heat up a big oven to roast potatoes.
  • Using an air fryer is fun!

Serving ideas:

  • Serve with lemon slices and squeeze lemon over potatoes immediately before serving.
  • These lemony potatoes would be delicious served with some whipped feta for dipping.
  • Serve alongside Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Thighs or Air Fryer Greek Chicken Thighs

Cooking tips:

  • I used small white baby potatoes for this. If you use larger potatoes, you'll want to slice them into smaller chunks.
  • All air fryers cook differently. To test doneness, pierce potatoes with a fork. If potato still feels hard inside, cook for several more minutes.
  • If you have any potatoes that are larger than the others, cut into quarters instead of halves.
  • If you want them extra crispy, you can slice into quarters instead of halves and cook for less time (starting to check for doneness around 10 minutes).

Reheating tips:

Store any leftovers of the air fryer Greek potatoes in the refrigerator in an airtight container. To reheat, pop into your air fryer for 3-5 minutes, or you can also reheat in a skillet.

How to make:

First, wash and scrub your potatoes and then dry.

Slice the potatoes in half, add to a bowl, and then add the olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine to make sure all potatoes are coated in the oil and seasonings.

    Boy are these good! I love Greek potatoes and they were easier to make and far more delish than I thought they'd be! Will be making again soon!
