Why I Love This Recipe
I mean... what’s not to love about hot, crispy fries tossed with fresh herbs, garlic, a shower of feta, and a side of creamy tzatziki? Greek Fries are the ultimate snack or side dish for literally any meal — BBQs, casual weeknight dinners, or even just a random Tuesday when you're feeling a little extra. Plus, they come together super easily in the oven with way less mess than frying. Major win.
Ingredients & Substitutions
- Any colored potatoes
- Olive oil
- Garlic
- Fresh parsley
- Fresh oregano
- Crumbled feta cheese
- Homemade tzatziki
- Kosher salt
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- Lemon wedges (for serving!)
How to Make
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Place the potato wedges, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, a big pinch of kosher salt, and a few cracks of black pepper into a zip-top bag. Shake to coat evenly.
- Spread the potatoes out on a Silpat- or parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- While the fries bake, whisk the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, and oregano together in a large bowl.
- When the fries are hot out of the oven, immediately toss them in the herb-garlic oil.
- Arrange the fries on a platter, sprinkle with crumbled feta, and add dollops of tzatziki over the top.
- Serve your Greek Fries immediately with lemon wedges on the side. Adjust salt as needed and dig in!
Tips & Tricks
- Cut your potato wedges evenly so they all roast at the same rate.
- Use a sil-pat or parchment paper to prevent sticking and get super crispy edges.
- Don’t skip tossing the hot fries with the garlic-herb oil right after roasting — it soaks into the fries and makes them insane.
- Fresh herbs > dried herbs for Greek Fries - trust me!
- Serve Greek Fries HOT so the feta just barely melts over the fries.
- A little extra tzatziki on the side for dunking is always a good idea.
FAQ's
Can I use a different kind of potato?
Totally — Yukon Golds would work great too! You just want something waxy that holds its shape.
Can I air fry these?
Absolutely! Just reduce the oil a bit and air fry at 400°F, shaking halfway, until golden and crispy.
What’s the best way to reheat leftovers?
Pop them back in a 400°F oven for 5-7 minutes to crisp them back up! (Microwave = sad soggy fries. Just saying.)
