Ingredients
Scale
French Fries
- 32 oz pre-cut frozen french fries
Feta Yogurt Sauce
- 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
- Bake the Fries: Preheat your oven and bake the frozen french fries according to the package directions but opt for the longer baking time. This ensures the fries become extra crispy and golden brown, which helps them hold up well when topped with the sauce without becoming soggy.
- 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 to create a smooth, flavorful sauce. For best flavor, let the sauce rest for at least a short while or refrigerate it ahead of time to meld the flavors.
- Salt the Fries: Once the fries are done baking, remove them from the oven and immediately sprinkle salt over them while they are still hot. This helps the salt stick to the fries uniformly.
- Assemble the Dish: Arrange the salted fries on a large serving platter or in a big bowl. Spoon or ladle the feta yogurt sauce evenly over the top of the fries.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish with extra crumbled feta and additional fresh herbs like parsley or dill for more vibrant flavor and presentation. Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.
Notes
- For crispier fries, ensure you bake them a bit longer than package instructions suggest.
- The feta yogurt sauce can be made hours or a day ahead for enhanced flavor.
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice and fresh herbs for the best taste.
- Adjust salt to your personal preference, especially since feta cheese is naturally salty.
- Serve immediately after assembly to prevent fries from becoming soggy.
