Description

These Greek Fries are crispy, golden, and loaded with Mediterranean flavor. Oven-baked fries are topped with creamy feta, fresh parsley, oregano, and a squeeze of lemon, then served with tzatziki for an irresistible Greek-inspired side dish or snack.

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 2 lbs russet potatoes

Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Toppings

  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges

Serving

  • Tzatziki, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the fries.
  2. Prep the potatoes: Wash and cut the potatoes into thin, even fries to ensure uniform cooking.
  3. Soak the potatoes: Place the cut potatoes in cold water and soak for 20–30 minutes. This step removes excess starch, promoting crispiness.
  4. Dry the potatoes: Drain the water and thoroughly dry the potatoes using a clean kitchen towel to avoid soggy fries.
  5. Season the fries: Toss the dried potatoes with olive oil, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  6. Arrange and bake: Spread the fries out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they aren’t crowded. Bake for 35–45 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.
  7. Add toppings: Once golden and crispy, transfer the fries to a serving platter. Sprinkle with crumbled feta, chopped parsley, and optional dill for fresh flavor.
  8. Finish and serve: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fries and serve immediately with tzatziki on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Drying the potatoes thoroughly after soaking is essential to achieve crispy fries.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; use two pans if necessary to allow proper air circulation.
  • For extra crispy fries, you can place the baking sheet in the oven while it preheats.
  • Add Kalamata olives or thinly sliced red onion to enhance the Mediterranean flavor profile.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and taste experience.
