These crispy, herb-infused Greek fries are topped with crumbled feta, fresh parsley, and red onion for a Mediterranean twist on a classic snack. Perfect as an appetizer, side dish, or snack, these fries will transport you straight to Greece.
Ingredients
- 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes peeled if preferred
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried dill
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Toppings:
- ½ cup fresh parsley finely chopped
- 1 medium red onion finely chopped
- ¼ cup feta cheese crumbled
- Optional: Tzatziki aioli, or lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and cut the Yukon Gold potatoes into sticks, about 1/3-inch wide. Soak them in a bowl of cold water for 10-15 minutes, then drain and dry them thoroughly with paper towels.
- Season the fries: In a large mixing bowl, toss the dried potatoes with olive oil, salt, oregano, dill, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Arrange and bake: Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they aren't overcrowded. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Flip and bake again: After 15 minutes, flip each fry and bake for another 6-8 minutes, or until golden and crispy on the edges.
- Add toppings: While the fries are baking, chop the parsley and red onion, and crumble the feta cheese. Once the fries are crispy and golden, transfer them to a serving dish. Immediately sprinkle with parsley, red onion, and feta cheese.
- Serve: Serve the Greek fries with tzatziki, aioli, or lemon wedges for dipping.
Notes
Storage: Greek fries are best enjoyed fresh from the oven, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, use the oven or an air fryer for the crispiest results. Substitute: For a vegan version, skip the feta or use a dairy-free alternative. Air fryer option: If you prefer using an air fryer, cook the fries at 380°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, shaking halfway through. Dipping sauces: Try traditional tzatziki, aioli, or a simple Greek yogurt sauce mixed with lemon juice and herbs for dipping.
