3 pounds baby Yukon gold potatoes: These potatoes are creamy and hold their shape well while roasting. If you prefer, you can use other small potatoes like red or fingerling potatoes.
¼ cup Greek salad dressing: A great shortcut for adding zest and flavor. Look for a good quality dressing or make your own for a fresh taste.
1 ½ teaspoons Greek seasoning blend: This combination of herbs and spices enhances the overall flavor profile, making the potatoes taste authentic. If you don’t have Greek seasoning, a mix of oregano, thyme, and rosemary can work well.
½ lemon juice of: Fresh lemon juice adds brightness and acidity, which is essential for balancing the richness of the potatoes.

How to Make Air Fryer Greek Roasted Potatoes

Prep the Potatoes: Chop the baby Yukon gold potatoes in half, making sure to quarter any extra-large ones to ensure even cooking. Place them in a large bowl, cover with cold water, and let them soak for 30 minutes. Soaking helps to remove excess starch, leading to crispier potatoes!
Rinse and Dry: After soaking, drain the potatoes and rinse them with fresh water. It’s important to dry them thoroughly; excess moisture can make them steam instead of roast.
Mix with Dressing and Seasoning: In a mixing bowl, add the dried potatoes along with the Greek salad dressing and Greek seasoning blend. Toss well to ensure each potato is beautifully coated.
Prepare the Air Fryer: Spray the air fryer basket with non-stick spray. This step helps the potatoes crisp up even further.
Air Fry the Potatoes: Add the seasoned potatoes to the air fryer and set it to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Air fry for about 20 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes to promote even cooking.
Final Touches: Once your potatoes are golden and crisp, taste them! Feel free to add more Greek seasoning if desired. To finish, sprinkle fresh parsley over the potatoes and squeeze some lemon juice on top before serving.

Storing & Reheating

To store Air Fryer Greek Roasted Potatoes, let them cool completely before transferring to an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 hours. If you need to refrigerate them, they can last 3-4 days in the fridge. For freezing, arrange the cooled potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, and then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, pop them back into the air fryer at 375°F for about 5-7 minutes to regain their crispiness. Keep in mind that texture may vary slightly upon reheating, but a sprinkle of fresh seasonings can always help.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid Overcrowding: If you have a lot of potatoes, consider cooking them in batches. Overcrowding the basket leads to uneven cooking.
Check for Readiness: The potatoes should be fork-tender and golden brown when done. A quick taste test is always a good idea!
Experiment with Seasonings: Feel free to customize the flavors by using different herbs or spices that you love. Rosemary or garlic powder can add an extra kick!
Soak for Best Results: Don’t skip the soaking step; it’s crucial for achieving that perfect crispy texture.

Air Fryer Greek Roasted Potatoes are not only appealing to the eye but also a delightful addition to your meals that may swing you from vegetable reluctance to potato love.
