What is Doner Kebab Plate (Kebabtallrik)?
A doner kebab plate (kebabtallrik) is made of Turkish doner kebab style meat slices arranged on a plate over crispy fries. It comes with a side salad of lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion, and kebab peppers with a drizzle of doner kebab sauce.
It is popular in Sweden and is a common fast food or take out option.
Ingredients in Homemade Doner Kebab Plate (Kebabtallrik)
- Doner kebab meat (Kebabkött) — we use our Instant Pot doner kebab meat recipe for quick and delicious kebab, healthier version than store bought options, although you can use ready made precooked kebab or gyro meat.
- Potatoes — white or yellow potatoes, peeled, for Air Fryer French Fries. A mandoline helps to slice the potatoes into typical French fry shape.
- Lettuce — fresh lettuce, thinly sliced.
- Cucumber — sliced thinly into rounds.
- Tomato — sliced thinly into rounds.
- Onion — thinly sliced.
- Hot Peppers — use jarred, hot banana pickled peppers or similar chili pepper rings.
- Kebab Peppers — Lombardi peppers are common kebab peppers, but if you can’t find them you can substitute pepperoncini peppers.
- White Doner Kebab Sauce (Kebabsås) — we use our easy five minute recipe for kebab sauce.
- Red Doner Kebab Sauce — tomato based garlic chili sauce.
- Doner Kebab Spice Blend (Kebabkrydda) — add a little extra spice (half a teaspoon or so) to the pan when you fry your kebab meat to reheat it until it has a nice golden color. You may be able to find kebabkrydda in grocery stores depending on where you live, otherwise you can use our recipe for kebab spice kebabkrydda.
- Salt — Himalayan pink salt, ground, to sprinkle over the air fryer French fries.
- Oil — avocado oil for frying the kebab in the pan, and some for the air fryer French fries.

Preparation and Storage Tips
You’ll want to enjoy this very soon or immediately after it’s made, as the air fryer French fries are best right out of the air fryer. They will be good for a few hours at room temperature after they are made.
Cooked kebab meat can be kept in the fridge for three days, but is best consumed within a day or two.
You can tightly wrap the meat sliced (store flat to thaw quicker) or wrap a whole kebab for storage in the freezer for up to two months.

Instructions
Make Air Fryer French Fries
- Peel five or six medium sized potatoes. Use a mandolin to slice the potatoes into French fry shaped strips. Place the potato strips into a bowl and add a bit of oil. Mix well.
- Transfer the potato strips to the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may have to run two batches of fries. (Time Saving Tip – in the next step you can chop the veggies while potatoes are cooking in the air fryer. Make the salad and store covered in fridge until the fries, meat and kebab sauce are ready that way the salad will be cold and crisp like the restaurant)
- Set the temperature to 350 °F and the timer to 10 minutes. When 10 minutes has passed, turn the potato strips in the basket and set the timer for 10 minutes again. When the second 10 minutes cycle has passed, turn the potato strips again and set the timer for 5 minutes. When the last 5 minutes has passed, remove the basket from the air fryer and pour the fries into a serving bowl. Add salt to taste.
Pan Fry Precooked Kebab Slices
- Add a half tablespoon of oil, and your precooked doner kebab slices to a frying pan with a half teaspoon or so of doner kebab spice (kebabkrydda) if you like. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are a nice golden color. Remove to a plate and keep warm until ready to assemble.
Assemble Doner Kebab Plate (Kebabtallrik)
- Place Air Fryer French Fries on a plate. Add doner kebab meat slices and kebab sauces to the plate, over top of the fries. Arrange a salad with slices of lettuce, tomato, cucumber and hot peppers on one side of the plate. Enjoy!
