Ingredients

Scale

For the Fries:

  • 4 medium russet potatoes (or use frozen thick-cut fries)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp paprika (optional)

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For Topping:

  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley or dill, chopped

  • Zest and juice of ½ lemon

  • Optional: sliced red onion, kalamata olives, diced tomatoes

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Potatoes

  1. If using fresh potatoes, wash and cut into thick fries (about ½ inch).

  2. Soak them in cold water for 20 minutes to remove excess starch.

  3. Drain, pat dry thoroughly with paper towels.

Step 2: Bake or Air Fry the Fries

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F) or air fryer to 200°C (400°F).

  2. Toss fries with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

  3. Spread evenly on a baking sheet or place in air fryer basket.

  4. Bake for 25–30 minutes (or air fry for 18–20 minutes), flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

Step 3: Add the Feta and Finish

  1. While fries are hot, transfer to a serving bowl or plate.

  2. Sprinkle generously with crumbled feta.

  3. Add lemon zest, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and chopped parsley.

  4. Top with optional extras like tomatoes, onions, or olives for a loaded version.

Step 4: Serve Immediately

  1. Serve hot with tzatziki, hummus, or your favorite dipping sauce.

  2. Enjoy as a snack, side dish, or party platter centerpiece.

Notes

Soak and Dry – Soaking helps crisp them up; drying is crucial before baking.
Use a Hot Oven – High temperature gives that crispy exterior.
Season While Hot – Helps herbs and cheese stick to the fries.
Try Air Fryer – Faster and extra crispy without excess oil.
Use Good Feta – A creamy, authentic feta makes all the difference.
