Ingredients
Scale
Fries
- 32 oz french fries (pre-cut, frozen)
Feta Yogurt Sauce
- 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
- Bake the fries: Preheat your oven and bake the frozen french fries according to package directions, but on the longer end of the time range to ensure they turn golden brown and extra crispy. This prevents sogginess under the sauce.
- Prepare the feta yogurt sauce: While the fries bake, combine the crumbled feta cheese, plain yogurt, sour cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, dill, dried oregano, and salt in a medium bowl. Stir well and set aside to allow flavors to meld. For best results, prepare the sauce several hours ahead or even the day before.
- Salt the fries: Once the fries are done baking, immediately remove them from the oven and sprinkle salt over them so it adheres properly. Adjust salt quantity to your preference.
- Assemble and serve: Transfer the salted fries to a serving platter or large bowl. Drizzle the feta yogurt sauce evenly over the top using a spoon or ladle. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh herbs and crumbled feta cheese for extra flavor and visual appeal. Serve immediately for the best texture.
Notes
- For crispier fries, avoid overcrowding the baking tray during cooking.
- The feta yogurt sauce can be made in advance; the flavors intensify with time.
- Adjust garlic and lemon juice quantities according to your taste preference.
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor impact.
- This dish is best served immediately after assembly to maintain crispiness.
