Sure, we all know that cooking with an air fryer is a simple way to cut down on calories, but that’s far from the only reason you should try one. Air-fried veggies take on their crispiest possible lives after a stint in the air fryer, and nowhere is this more true than with potatoes. Baked potatoes, French fries, potato wedges, and even baby potatoes all get a serious upgrade in the air fryer, with the perfect balance of crispy tenderness, or tender crispiness. Try out these air fryer potato recipes and see for yourself why potatoes and your air fryer are a true dream duo.

Air Fryer Loaded Greek Fries
Soup Loving Nicole
Allrecipes Allstar Soup Loving Nicole describes these as "Air-fried french fries loaded with Greek flavors. These are great on their own but also pair nicely with lamb, steak, or chicken. Cheese is a must for loaded fries but since feta doesn't melt, I incorporated it into the tzatziki sauce."
