Ingredients

32 oz french fries (pre-cut, frozen recommended)
4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
1 cup plain yogurt
½ cup sour cream
1 large garlic clove, minced
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tbsp freshly chopped parsley
1 tbsp freshly chopped dill
1 tsp dried oregano
salt to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Bake your french fries according to the package directions, but aim for the longer end of the suggested time. You want your fries to be browned and extra crispy to prevent sogginess under the sauce.
Step 2: While the fries bake, prepare the feta yogurt sauce. In a medium bowl, combine the plain yogurt, sour cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, chopped dill, dried oregano, and crumbled feta cheese. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld. For best taste, make the sauce hours ahead or even the day before.
Step 3: When the fries are done, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle with salt to taste so it adheres well. Transfer the fries to a large serving platter or bowl.
Step 4: Drizzle the prepared feta yogurt sauce evenly over the fries using a spoon or ladle. Garnish with extra herbs and crumbled feta if desired, and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

For a fresher flavor, use fresh herbs like parsley and dill instead of dried when possible.
Try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes to the sauce for a spicy kick.
Use sweet potato fries as a delicious alternative for a slightly sweeter taste.
Leftover sauce can be used as a dip for vegetables or grilled meats.

Storage

Store leftover fries and sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Fries are best eaten within 1-2 days. Reheat fries in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness. The feta yogurt sauce can be stored up to 3 days and should be stirred before using again.
