Ingredients
For the Crispy Potatoes
- 1 lb baby golden potatoes, halved (or quarter if large)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp dried dill
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
For the Lemon Feta Dip
- 8 oz block feta cheese
- 4 oz plain Greek yogurt
- 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 small garlic cloves
- 1–3 tsp milk (optional for creamier consistency)
- Freshly ground black pepper
Step-by-Step Instructions For Making Golden Crispy Herbed Potatoes with Lemon Feta Dip
1. Make the Lemon Feta Dip
Start by blending feta, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and garlic in a food processor until smooth. Add a teaspoon of milk at a time if you want a softer, creamier dip. Set aside in the fridge while you prepare the potatoes. Chilling the dip enhances the flavors.
2. Season the Potatoes
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Pat the potatoes dry to help them crisp up. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, oregano, dill, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until fully coated.
3. Cook to Crispy Perfection
Place the potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes, shake, and continue cooking for another 8–10 minutes until golden and crunchy. If you don’t have an air fryer, roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 30–40 minutes, flipping halfway.
4. Serve
Arrange the potatoes on a plate and serve with the chilled lemon feta dip. The contrast of hot, crispy potatoes and cool, creamy dip makes every bite unforgettable.
For Best Results
- Crispier potatoes: Don’t overcrowd the air fryer or pan; give them space to crisp.
- Add herbs: Fresh parsley or chives on top enhances flavor and color.
- Spice it up: Sprinkle paprika, chili flakes, or smoked paprika for a kick.
- Meal prep friendly: Make the dip ahead of time; it lasts 3–4 days in the fridge. Reheat the potatoes in the oven to retain crispness.
