Greek Fries

Greek Fries, easy homemade baked fries topped with a Greek seasoning mix, Tzatziki, fresh parsley, and feta cheese. These Greek French fries make an easy appetizer, snack, or side dish recipe!

What are Greek Fries

Greek fries are not necessarily an authentic Greek recipe. They generally start with baked or fried potato and topped with Greek style toppings which may include Greek seasoning, lemon, parsley, oregano, feta cheese, and tzatziki (a cucumber and yogurt based sauce or dip).

Greek Fries Ingredients

• Potato – Use a large russet baking potato. You could also try sweet potato, eggplant, or zucchini to make fries but may need to adjust the baking time and temperature. I left the skin on the potatoes but you can peel them if you prefer.
• Olive Oil – Just need a little.
• Oregano – I like to use dried oregano for these fries, but you could also use chopped fresh oregano and sprinkle on top with the fresh parsley.
• Lemon Zest – Use fresh lemon zest if you can for the best results.
• Salt – You can use your favorite type or whatever you have around.
• Black Pepper – I’d suggest freshly ground pepper.
• Garlic Powder – I prefer dried garlic powder over fresh minced garlic for this recipe.
• Tzatziki – You can use store-bought Tzatziki or homemade Tzatziki.
• Feta Cheese – Be sure to crumble the cheese before sprinkling it on top.
• Parsley – I prefer fresh parsley for this fry recipe rather than dried. Be sure to use flat parsley.

How to Make Greek Fries

Step One: Preheat oven. For crispy baked French fries be sure your oven is hot. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step Two: Thinly cut the potato into fries. The thinner you cut, the crispier the potatoes will be. Toss the fries witha little olive oil and then the dried seasonings. Place the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step Three: Bake the fries for about 20-30 minutes (or more/less depending on how thick you cut the potatoes). Rotate the pans about halfway through baking. You can flip the potatoes over as well for extra crispy fries.

Step Four: Spoon the Tzatziki over the baked fries and sprinkle feta cheese and parsley on top before serving.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve the potatoes right away after baking. The longer they sit with the toppings on such as the Tzatziki, the fries will lose a little crispiness.
• Instead of Tzatzki you can top with Greek yogurt or even Toum (garlic sauce). Even Spinach Dip would be delicious spooned on top.
• These Greek style French fries make a great appetizer, snack, or even side dish (perfect side for these Chicken Greek Salad Wraps)
• For a fun meal, you could even serve these fries on top (or underneath…) chicken or fish. Or stuff the fries right into a sandwich (like a gyro).

Quick Tips for Best Results

• Cut the potato into really thin strips so that they crisp. If the potatoes are cut too thick they can be difficult to crisp when baked. Also, be sure to use a good baking potato.
• Use your favorite Greek toppings and use more or less seasonings to your personal preference. The dried oregano, lemon zest, garlic powder, salt, and pepper make a great Greek fry seasoning mix but you could use a store-bought or homemade Greek seasoning if you’d prefer. A little of this fry seasoning would also be great.
• When you’re rotating the pans, you can flip the potatoes over at that point if you want the potatoes extra crispy but I personally don’t, because it takes a while and I think the fries turn out fine if you just rotate the pans.
