    Published: Jan 11, 2022 by Aqueena · This post may contain affiliate links · 1 Comment

    PSA you don't need an air fryer or deep fryer.. you CAN achieve CRISPY potatoes in an oven. I finally found the way, and now I'm sharing with you how to make Crispy Greek Potatoes. These potatoes are seasoned with lemon juice, salt and oregano but cooked in a 50/50 mix of water and olive oil. The secret to their crispiness is CORNMEAL.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I make these ahead of time?

    No, they lose their crispiness over night.

    Does this recipe work in convection and conventional ovens?

    Yes. Obviously due to the fan these will crisp up even more in a convection oven but they will still get crispy, thanks to the mixture, in a conventional oven.
