What are Greek fries?

These Greek fries give a Mediterranean twist to the classic loaded fries. This recipe is inspired by a similar dish that I order from a Greek-style fast-food restaurant in my hometown.

Are Greek fries actually Greek?

When I was in Greece, fries were served as a pile of crispy shoestring fries flavored with oregano and lemon and seasoned with salt and pepper. But Greek fast food restaurants near me serve a version of loaded Greek-flavored fries with tomato, feta cheese, Greek dressing, and Tzatziki on the side.

These Greek-style loaded fries are easy to make so they're pretty much perfect for a last-minute lunch or dinner. You can make the cucumber tomato topping while your fries cook.

Homemade Greek Fries with Feta Cheese and Tzatziki Sauce tick every box for me:

• loaded fries: I'm obsessed with french fry toppings and these greek tzatziki fries are a winner every time.
• delicious Greek-inspired flavors: Tzatziki sauce, fresh lemon juice, herby dried oregano, zippy garlic, and Greek olive oil all combine together in a similar fashion to my Greek Lemon Potatoes with bold flavors and easy prep.
• easy comfort food: this greek fries recipe requires simple ingredients but it just 'feels' like a takeout treat.
• big, bold flavors: I love big flavors - lemon, oregano, and garlic are all bold and satisfying.

Ingredients for Greek Fries with Feta

See the recipe card for exact amounts.

• Greek fries seasoning: bake whatever fries are your favorite, whether they are store-bought frozen french fries or homemade fries (Russet potatoes and Yukon Gold potatoes make good fries!). Once they're baked, toss them with lemon zest and dried oregano.
• Greek fries toppings: you'll need cucumber, tomato, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, and oil to make a Greek-style fresh salsa to top the fries. You'll also need crumbled feta cheese and Tzatziki sauce to serve with the fries. You can use storebought sauce but my Tzatziki Sauce recipe is pretty perfect.

How to Make Loaded Greek Fries

Bake the fries according to the package instructions. Season the fries with the zest of a lemon, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Plate a serving of fries and add the fresh salsa on top.

Add crumbled feta cheese and either spoon some Tzatziki over the fries or serve with a small bowl of Tzatziki sauce for dipping.

RECIPE TIP: Feta cheese comes packaged in brine. To make sure your fries don't get soggy, crumble the fresh Feta cheese and let it sit out on a plate to dry a bit while your fries bake.

What to serve with Greek Fries

You can serve the Greek fries just like this for a meal or top them with a fried egg. To serve Greek fries as a side dish, try them paired with a Greek Turkey Burger, a Crispy Chicken Burger, or a Green Goddess Halloumi Burger.
