  • Total Time: 28 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the Garlic Potatoes:

  • 1 lb. baby golden potatoes, cut in half
  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil*
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp dried dill
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

For the Lemony Whipped Feta:

  • 8 oz. feta, crumbled
  • 4 oz. plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 small garlic cloves
  • 1-3 tsp milk, any kind (depending on the consistency you want)
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Make the lemon whipped feta: Add crumbled feta, plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic cloves, and a teaspoon of milk to a food processor. Blend until smooth. Gradually add more milk, up to 3 teaspoons, until you achieve your desired creamy consistency. Season with black pepper to taste and set aside.
  2. Prepare the herbed potatoes: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Wash and pat dry baby potatoes, cutting each in half (quarter any larger ones). Place potatoes in a large bowl.
  3. Season the potatoes: Add avocado oil, dried oregano, dried dill, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with potatoes. Toss thoroughly until all potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
  4. Air fry the potatoes: Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes, then shake the basket to turn the potatoes. Cook for an additional 8-10 minutes until potatoes are golden and crispy.
  5. Serve: Remove the crispy herbed potatoes from the air fryer and serve immediately alongside the lemon whipped feta dip.

Notes

  • Olive oil can be used as a replacement for avocado oil.
  • Adjust milk quantity in the whipped feta to achieve your preferred dip consistency.
  • For larger baby potatoes, quarter them to ensure even cooking.
  • Serve immediately for best crispness of potatoes.
