AIR FRYER LOADED GREEK FRIES

Air-fried french fries loaded with Greek flavors. These are great on their own but also pair nicely with lamb, steak, or chicken. Cheese is a must for loaded fries but since feta doesn't melt, I incorporated it into the tzatziki sauce.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ English cucumber, shredded
½ teaspoon salt
½ (16 ounce) container Greek yogurt (such as Fage®)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons freeze-dried dill
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
½ (4 ounce) package crumbled feta cheese
4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into fries

Steps:

  • Place shredded cucumber in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let drain for 10 minutes.

  • Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will make a big difference in the flavor of your fries.
  • Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the potatoes. This will cause them to steam rather than fry.
  • Season the fries with salt and pepper immediately after they come out of the fryer. This will help them to absorb the seasonings better.
  • Load the fries up with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include feta cheese, tomatoes, onions, and tzatziki sauce.

Conclusion:

Loaded Greek fries are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give loaded Greek fries a try!
