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

Ingredients

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
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons Greek seasoning (such as Cavender's®)
cooking spray
1 small red onion, cut into thin strips
¼ cup sliced Kalamata olives
12 grape tomatoes, halved

Steps:

Place shredded cucumber in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let drain for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, assemble the rest of the tzatziki by adding yogurt, lemon juice, dill, garlic, vinegar, and feta to a small bowl. Stir until evenly combined. Stir in shredded cucumber and set aside until ready to use.
Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Combine fries, olive oil, and Greek seasoning in a large bowl and stir until evenly combined. Spray the basket of the air fryer with nonstick cooking spray. Add 1/2 of the fries to the basket.
Air fry for 10 minutes. Flip until cook to desired crispness, about 5 minutes more. Repeat with remaining fries.
Divide fries among 4 serving plates. Drizzle cucumber sauce over the top of the fries. Garnish each plate with red onion strips, Kalamata olives, and grape tomatoes.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your fries will taste. This is especially important for the vegetables, as they will lose their flavor and nutrients if they are not fresh.
Cut your fries evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent some from being overcooked while others are still raw.
Soak your fries in water before frying: This will help them crisp up and prevent them from becoming soggy.
Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the fries will not cook evenly and will become soggy.
Season your fries well: Use a variety of seasonings to flavor your fries, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Serve your fries immediately: Fries are best served hot and crispy. If you let them sit for too long, they will become soggy and lose their flavor.
