We love to serve these with our homemade chicken gyro platter and Tzatziki. Give it a try.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Potatoes – You can use Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes. Both have a high starch content that makes for crispy fries.
- Olive oil
- Greek seasoning – You can look for a store bought version or mix up your own using equal parts oregano, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and black pepper.
- Feta cheese – Crumbled.
- Garnish – Parsley and finely chopped red onions.
- For the sauce: Greek Yogurt, dill, mayo, lemon juice, garlic and onion powders, salt
Helpful Tips
- Use starchy potatoes like Russets for the crispiest fries. Their high starch content helps achieve that perfect golden-brown exterior.
- You can choose your cooking method for the fries. I usually bake them but they don’t get as crispy as frying them. You can also use your air fryer.
- Eat your fries immediately after frying while they are still hot. They will fly off the plate.
