What Are Greek Fries?
These are oven-baked french fries tossed with Greek/Mediterranean spices and a bit of oil. They are baked to crispy perfection and then topped with all kinds of fresh Greek or Mediterranean toppings that are so good for you and tasty to boot.
FAQs
What Type Of Potatoes Should I Use?
You can use any type of potato you prefer. Good choices are Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes.
How Thick Should I Cut My Fries?
More important than the thickness is the uniformity. Try to make all your fries the same thickness so that they cook evenly. The thicker they are, the longer they will need to bake. But you can cut them to any thickness you like.
Do I Have To Peel My Potatoes?
You do not have to peel your potatoes. You can peel them if you want to, but it’s not necessary.
Can I Use Fresh Herbs Instead Of Dried Herbs?
Technically, yes. But the flavors won’t be as strong. It’s better to use fresh herbs for a garnish after you have baked the fries.
How Do I Know When My Greek Fries Are Done?
Your fries are done when the fries are cooked to your liking. At the very least, they should be soft and edible. Whether you bake them long enough to make them crispy on the outside is a personal preference.
Crispy Greek Fries And Other Textures
If you want your fries crisy on the outside, make sure you cook them for the full 40 minutes (assuming they are cut to a quarter-inch thickness). Stir them once or twice during baking so that they bake evenly.
If you want less crispy Greek fries, you can bake them for about 30 minutes to start. Add more time as needed until you get the texture you desire.
How To Eat Greek Fries
So the toppings used in this fries recipe tend to easily fall off the fries for obvious reasons, You aren’t melting anything onto these fries to keep the toppings in place. For this reason, I highly recommend eating these with a fork. Mini Chef and I both ate this with forks and it made an excellent vegetarian lunch for us with plenty of fresh veggies.

How To Make Greek Fries
Preheat The Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Optionally, you can line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. But this is not required.
Gather Ingredients
Gather and measure all your ingredients.
Prepare The Potatoes
Cut the potatoes into fries. Try to make them as uniform in size as possible so they cook evenly. You can use frozen fries as well, which I did here. But check the ingredient list because many have unwanted ingredients in them.
Season The Fries
Mix the oil and spices in a small mixing bowl, pour them over the fries and toss to coat them evenly.
Arrange On Baking Sheet
Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded. If they are too close together, they may steam instead of getting crispy.
Bake
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-40 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
Serve
Once the fries are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the hot fries and garnish with chopped fresh veggies and herbs of your choosing.
Storing Leftover Greek Fries
While these are best eaten fresh from the oven, store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freezing
Freezing is not recommended for this recipe.
Reheating
To reheat leftovers, simply place them back on a pan and warm them in the oven at 350F. until warmed through. You may need to refresh your toppings. Note that the fries may be a bit soggier. This is normal.
Recipe Supplies
You’ll need a large baking sheet or two smaller sheet pans.
