Why This Recipe Is So Delicious
These fries offer a perfect mix of crispy texture and bold Mediterranean flavors. They are easy to make and packed with fresh ingredients that bring every bite to life. Using the air fryer makes them healthier without sacrificing any crunch.
Step 1
Shred the cucumber and tossing it into a colander. Sprinkle it with a bit of salt and let it sit for about 10 minutes to drain off any extra moisture. While that’s happening, mix together the yogurt, lemon juice, dill, garlic, vinegar, and feta in a small bowl. Once the cucumber is ready, squeeze out any remaining liquid and stir it into the yogurt mixture. Set this aside for now.
Step 2
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). In a big bowl, toss the fries with olive oil and Greek seasoning until everything is nicely coated. Give the air fryer basket a quick spray with some nonstick cooking spray, then add half the fries in a single layer. Cook them for about 10 minutes, then flip and air fry for another 5 minutes or until they’re as crispy as you like. Repeat with the rest of the fries.
Step 3
When the fries are done, divide them onto plates and spoon the cucumber-yogurt sauce over the top. Finish things off with some red onion strips, Kalamata olives, and grape tomatoes for a fresh, colorful touch. Enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Yes, regular yogurt can work, but Greek yogurt is thicker and gives a creamier texture to the sauce.
How do I make the fries extra crispy in the air fryer?
Make sure to cut the fries evenly, toss them with oil and seasoning, and avoid overcrowding the basket for even cooking.
Can I prepare the cucumber-yogurt sauce ahead of time?
Yes, you can make the sauce a few hours in advance and keep it refrigerated until ready to serve.
What can I substitute for Greek seasoning if I don’t have it?
Use a mix of dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Is it necessary to peel the potatoes?
Peeling is optional; leaving the skin on adds texture and nutrients if you prefer.
Can I bake the fries in the oven instead of using an air fryer?
Yes, bake at 425°F (220°C) for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy.
How do I prevent the shredded cucumber from making the sauce watery?
Salting the cucumber and squeezing out excess liquid before adding it to the sauce helps keep it thick.
Can I add other toppings to the fries?
Absolutely! Ingredients like chopped fresh herbs, diced bell peppers, or a drizzle of olive oil work well.
