Introduction

Greek Fries with Feta Cheese offer a delicious twist on classic fries, combining crispy potatoes with a creamy, tangy feta yogurt sauce. This simple yet flavorful dish is perfect as a snack or appetizer that brings a touch of the Mediterranean to your table.

A plate of golden-brown fries forms the bottom layer, crisp and evenly cooked, arranged on a white, rectangular plate with small raised dots along the rim. On top of the fries is a thick layer of creamy white sauce, generously drizzled and covering most fries. Crumbled white cheese is scattered over the sauce, adding a crumbly texture. Fresh green herbs, finely chopped, are sprinkled on top, adding color contrast and a fresh look. The plate sits on a white marbled texture surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

32 oz french fries (pre-cut, frozen)
4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
1 cup plain yogurt
½ cup sour cream
1 large garlic clove, minced
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tbsp freshly chopped parsley
1 tbsp freshly chopped dill
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Bake your french fries according to the package directions, but extend the cooking time slightly to ensure they are brown and extra crispy. This helps prevent sogginess under the sauce.
Step 2: While the fries are baking, prepare the feta yogurt sauce by combining plain yogurt, sour cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, dill, dried oregano, crumbled feta, and salt in a medium bowl. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld—this can be done hours or even a day ahead for better taste.
Step 3: Once the fries are done, immediately sprinkle salt over them so it adheres well. Arrange the fries on a serving platter or in a large bowl, then drizzle the feta yogurt sauce generously over the top.
Step 4: Garnish with additional fresh herbs and crumbled feta if desired, then serve warm for the best experience.

Tips & Variations

For extra crunch, bake the fries on a wire rack over the baking sheet to allow air circulation underneath.
Substitute fresh oregano if available for a brighter herb flavor.
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the sauce for a subtle spicy kick.
Use homemade fries cut from fresh potatoes if you prefer a less processed option.

Storage

Store any leftover feta yogurt sauce separately in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Leftover fries are best eaten fresh but can be reheated in a hot oven or air fryer to regain some crispiness. Avoid storing fries with the sauce on to prevent sogginess.

FAQs

Can I use different types of cheese instead of feta?

Feta’s salty and tangy flavor is key to this dish, but you can experiment with goat cheese or ricotta salata for a similar effect, though the taste and texture will vary.

Is this recipe suitable for a large group?

Yes, you can easily scale up the quantities of both fries and sauce to serve more people. Keep the proportions of yogurt, sour cream, and seasonings the same for consistent flavor.
