Air Fryer Greek Lemon Potato Wedges
These Air Fryer Greek Lemon Potato Wedges are one of my favorite side dishes when I want something easy to make but still full of flavor.
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into wedges
- 1 oz olive oil
- 1½ oz lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon semolina or cornmeal
Garnish
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoon feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
- Wash and cut potatoes into evenly sized wedges. Pat dry with paper towels to help them crisp.
- If you have extra time, soak the wedges in ice cold water for 20 minutes, then dry them very well.
- In a large bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, black pepper and semolina until combined. Add potato wedges and toss well to coat evenly.
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (195°C) for 3 minutes.
- Arrange potato wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket so they are not touching.
- Cook for 10 minutes.
- Shake the basket well.
- Cook for another 10 - 12 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Repeat with remaining wedges if needed.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and feta before serving.

Notes
Cooking Time and Temperature
Air fry at 380°F (195°C) for 20 - 22 minutes, shaking halfway through cooking.Taste & Texture
Crispy golden edges with fluffy potato centers and bright lemon, garlic, and herb flavors.Storage, Freezing & Reheating
- Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: Not recommended because the texture changes after thawing.
- Reheat: Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 4–5 minutes until crispy again.
Serving Recommendations
I love serving these with grilled chicken, souvlaki, fish, or a big Greek salad. A little tzatziki on the side makes them even better.Recipe Variations and Substitutions
- Potatoes: Sweet potatoes can be used instead. Yukon Gold potatoes are creamier, while russets get slightly crispier.
- Feta: Leave it off if you prefer dairy-free wedges.
- Seasoning: Add rosemary or thyme. For a bite, add some chilli flakes or cayenne pepper.
Proper Storage Tips
