Ingredients
Scale
French Fries
- 32 oz frozen pre-cut french fries
Feta Yogurt Sauce
- 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon freshly chopped dill
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Bake the Fries: Preheat your oven and bake the frozen french fries according to the package directions, aiming for the longer end of the recommended time to ensure extra crispiness and a golden brown color. This helps prevent sogginess when the sauce is added.
- Prepare the Feta Yogurt Sauce: While the fries bake, combine the crumbled feta cheese, plain yogurt, sour cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, chopped dill, dried oregano, and salt in a medium bowl. Mix well until smooth and creamy. For best flavor, let the sauce sit for at least a few hours or up to the day before serving.
- Salt the Fries: Once the fries are done baking, immediately remove them from the oven and sprinkle salt over them while they are still hot to ensure the salt adheres well. Adjust the salt to your personal preference.
- Assemble and Serve: Transfer the hot fries onto a large serving platter or bowl. Generously drizzle the prepared feta yogurt sauce over the fries using a spoon or ladle. Optionally, garnish with additional crumbled feta cheese and fresh herbs for an attractive and flavorful finish.
Notes
- For optimal flavor, prepare the feta yogurt sauce several hours or the day before serving so the flavors can meld.
- Use fully thawed and dry fries to achieve the best crispiness when baking.
- You can substitute frozen fries with fresh cut fries if desired, adjusting baking time accordingly.
- For a lower fat option, consider using low-fat yogurt and sour cream.
- Adjust the level of garlic and herbs to suit your taste preferences.
