Greek Fries are jazzed-up frozen fries tossed with Greek spices and served topped with feta cheese and along with a feta yogurt sauce! Feta fries are the perfect side dish for Gyros or any sort of Greek food!
After spotting some gyro meat at Costco last week, I had my heart set on gyros for dinner one night. I had flashbacks to an amazing gyro I had years ago, which was served with the BEST fries topped with feta cheese. That was it. I had to make them! That's how these Greek Fries were born and WOW are they good! These gyro fries are served with a homemade feta yogurt sauce that is the perfect dipping sauce for them.
One tiny confession: these feta fries are not homemade. I actually used frozen French fries - don't hate me! We actually really like frozen French fries (especially the Alexa brand!) and I've failed too many times making them from scratch. So, for these crispy baked French fries, semi-homemade Greek fries, it is!
Yes, this recipe is semi-homemade, in that it uses frozen French fries. I've never been able to make crispy French fries in the oven, and I'm not a big fan of frying things in my house. To make this Greek fries recipe, start by tossing the frozen French fries in a bit of olive oil, oregano, dill, parsley, garlic powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
Place the fries in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in an air fryer basket, and bake or air fry them according to the package directions. The result? Crispy Greek fries full of flavor!
While the Greek fries are cooking, make the feta sauce.
Feta Fry Sauce is absolutely necessary for Greek fries! The combination of the Greek spices on the crispy fries with the tangy feta sauce is pure perfection. The feta dipping sauce is a combination of feta cheese, plain Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, milk, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, fresh parsley, fresh dill, and sea salt.
These gyro fries are the ultimate side dish when I made gyros for dinner. I have seen people put fries IN their gyros, and I think these would be incredible like that, too! You could also serve them as a side dish with some grilled chicken, steak, or fish, alongside Spinach Feta Turkey Burgers, or with a Greek salad. Confession: sometimes I like to just eat feta fries as my main dish, so feel free to do that too!
Sweet Potato Fries with Curry Dipping Sauce
Super yummy! The feta sauce is very runny tho. More like a dressing. I recommend 8oz feta per 1/2 cup yogurt, based on other similar recipes. Other than that, it’s a perfect side for Greek tilapia. Along with a red onion, cucumber salad.
