Authentic Greek fries are typically served with Greek herbs. That's it.

When I have visited Greece, multiple times, I rarely see feta cheese sprinkled over top.

However it IS something that I would prefer since most restaurants serve feta on the side anyway! Along with a creamy tzatziki sauce.

Both make for best meze dishes! So I thought, why not combined all THREE of those delicious Greek appetizers into one heaping pile of crispy creamy deliciousness?

What Makes Fries "Greek"?

"Greek french fries" are usually made with freshly squeezed lemon juice and lots of oregano on top. So why not add some salty feta cheese and a creamy lemony yogurt sauce over top?! Top with freshly chopped herbs and you've got a delicious appetizer that will please everyone.

How To Make Greek Fries

Choose The Right Potatoes

Choosing the right type of potato is important. You will want to use starchy Russet potatos. These are known to give the crispiest french fry.

Other potatoes that will work are yukon gold potatoes.

Cutting Your Fries

You can cut fries by hand if you wish. This isn't difficult and you can adjust the size as necessary. You can also use a fry cutter to cut your french fries evenly and consistently. This is quicker but obviously not something we all have at home.

Frying

You can soak your potatoes in water before frying to remove the starch. Using paper towels to dry off the water from the potatoes is also helpful.

Deep frying your potatoes in vegetable, canola or peanut oil will give the crispiest french fries.

Ideally, to make these Greek fries the best, you want to opt for a thicker french fry. One that will hold it's form even with feta and yogurt piled on top! You can make my homemade potato wedges which would be delicious underneath the sauce!

The Feta "Tzatziki" Sauce

This feta yogurt sauce SO delicious. I call it "tzatziki" but it does not have cucumbers in it so it technically is NOT tzatziki sauce. But it does have freshly squeezed lemon juice (like on those traditional Greek fries I mentioned above), lots of minced garlic, and of course, fresh herbs.

I also added some sour cream to the sauce because it adds more tang and is SO delicious paired with the yogurt.

Because feta cheese is often the dry side and does not melt as well as other cheeses, I mixed it in with some Greek yogurt so the cheese will stick to your fries. Then, I added MORE crumbled feta over top so everyone can actually SEE the feta.
