How To Make Loaded Greek Fries in the Air Fryer

Get the complete ingredients list and instructions from the recipe card below.

1. Preheat the Air Fryer to 350F / 180C, cut potatoes into matchsticks, and soak them in ice water for 10 minutes. 
2. Dry the potatoes, toss with olive oil and seasonings, then arrange in a single layer in the basket of the air fryer (cooking in two batches if needed).
3. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden and crisp, turning halfway through cooking.
4. Transfer to a plate and top with feta, tomato and tzatziki before serving. 

Air fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model. I recommend starting with less cook time, checking for doneness, then adding more time as needed.

How To Make Greek Fries in Instant Pot Air Fryer Lid

1. Cut, soak and season the fries according to the recipe.
2. Make sure your Instant Pot is unplugged.
3. Add the french fries in a single layer to the cooking basket, place the basket over the trivet inside the Instant Pot stainless steel insert. 
4. Place the Air Fryer Lid over the instant pot and lower the handle.
5. Plug in the lid and set the temperature to 375F / 190C.
6. Cook for 9 minutes, open and shake the fries, then cook for another 8-10 minutes.
7. Transfer to a plate, top and serve. 

Pro Recipe Tips 

• For even cooking, cut the potatoes as uniform as possible.
• Air fryers can vary, so it’s best to use the cooking times as a guide and check your fries until you learn the quirks of your fryer.
• Loaded fries can get soggy quickly. For the best flavor and texture, serve these immediately after cooking. 

Flavorful Variations

• Add some citrus zing – Add some lemon zest to the oil and seasonings for a bright flavor. 
• Bump up the Greek Flavor – Add oregano or use a Mediterranean spice mix.
• Top it off – Top with chopped red onion, chopped fresh parsley and oregano, chopped roasted eggplant, sliced olives or sliced banana peppers.
• Make it a Meal – Top the fries with shredded chicken or chopped gyro meat. 
• Dip it – Not a fan of tzatziki? Try dipping these fries in hummus or baba ganoush. 

Make Ahead and Storage

• Make Ahead – Prepare the fries by soaking and drying the potatoes and coating them with olive oil and seasoning. Freeze until ready to use and then add a few minutes to the cooking time. 
• Store – These don’t keep well, but who actually has leftover cheese fries anyway?!
• Freeze – Place the seasoned, uncooked fries on a baking tray in a single layer and place in the freezer. When the fries have frozen, add them to a zip-top bag and store in the freezer until ready to cook.
