Air Fryer Greek Fries (Patates Tiganites)

For my very first air fryer fries using the Ninja Crispi, I went straight for the Greek classic: patates tiganites. I wanted to see if it could reproduce that perfect balance - crispy outside, soft and warm inside -with only a small amount of oil. And honestly? They came out really good, so I continued with the Greek meatballs (keftedakia).

Ingredients:

• 3–4 potatoes
• 1–2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt
• Oregano
• (Optional) Paprika or garlic powder

Instructions:

1. Peel and cut the potatoes into sticks.
2. Rinse them quickly and pat them very dry with a towel.
3. Toss with olive oil, salt, and oregano.
4. Preheat the Ninja Crispi on Air Fry at 200°C (390°F).
5. Cook for 15–20 minutes, shaking halfway.

Crispy on the outside, soft inside, and full of Greek flavor but without deep frying.

Greek Garlic-Potato Puree (Skordalia)

[Updated 20/03/2025]

A creamy, garlicky potato puree, this traditional Greek side dish is rich in olive oil and garlic. It pairs wonderfully with Crispy Greek Cod (Bakaliaros Skordalia) (fried cod with garlic-potato puree), a dish especially enjoyed on Greece's National Day, March 25th.
