50gGreek yogurt
1large clove of garlicminced
Method
Cut your potatoes into fry shapes and soak them in a large bowl of cold water for 30-60 minutes (I find it helpful to get my other ingredients prepped while the potatoes soak!).
If using an oven, preheat your oven to 220C and line your baking tray with baking paper.
Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with a clean cloth, then return them to your now-dry mixing bowl and mix in the oil, dried oregano, salt, and onion powder.
For the air fryer: Place the fries in your air fryer and cook at 200 C for 20 minutes, shaking the fries half way through.
For the oven: Arrange the fries neatly on your baking tray, leaving a gap between each fry if possible, and bake for 45 - 55 minutes.
Meanwhile, dice the garlic, and fresh herbs, and crumble your feta.
Make the dip by combining the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, half of the minced garlic, and a pinch of salt.
Toss the cooked fries in the other half of the minced garlic, and half of the fresh herbs, and feta.
Arrange the Greek fries on your serving tray with the dip, and scatter over the remaining half of the toppings.
If you have a choice between cooking these Greek fries in the oven or in the air fryer, I’d highly recommend cooking your fries in the air fryer! I’ve found that my fries turn out so much crispier when cooked in the air fryer, in half the time.Feel free to adjust the toppings to suit your tastes. You could add lemon juice, olives, green peppers, crispy chickpeas, or anything else you like.
