These delicious Greek fries are so simple to put together and make a wonderful summer potato side dish to serve alongside your favorite other Greek-inspired dishes. Cooked either in the oven or in the air fryer, these fries can be assembled and on your table in as little as 25 minutes. One of my favorite ways to load of fries in the summer!

You’ll all know by now that I am a huge fan of Greek food – the flavors just sing to me! It all started with my Greek potatoes and whipped feta recipe, and I’ve incorporated Greek flavors into my cooking ever since. These Greek fries would be delicious served with my Tzatziki dip, spicy harissa chickpeas, or even in vegetarian gyros.

Ingredient Notes

The exact quantities of the ingredients you need for this recipe are included in the recipe card at the bottom of this post. Here, I’ve added a few notes on the ingredients you need, plus a few potential substitutions you could make if you can’t eat/find a certain ingredient.

• Potatoes: Any large baking potato will work fine for this recipe. I lean towards waxy yellow potatoes. The key is to soak your fries before cooking to remove the starch – this gets them super crispy!
   
• Toppings: For the ‘Greek’ side of this recipe, we’ve topped these fries with diced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, feta cheese, and fresh herbs such as dill and parsley.
  
• Dip: Any creamy Greek dip will work perfectly for this recipe – such as Tzatziki. I’ve also used a simple creamy lemon tahini garlic yogurt sauce which works great. Even a bowl of whipped feta would be incredible.

Other Variations

There are so many ways you could adapt this recipe! Here are a few ideas:

• You could swap out the potatoes for sweet potato
• Add more Greek ingredients to the fries, such as olives, green peppers, diced cucumber, and sun-dried tomatoes
• Use Tzatziki, hummus, or another Greek dip for dipping your fries!

How To Make This Greek Fries Recipe

Again, the exact step-by-step instructions and ingredient quantities will be in the recipe card at the bottom of this page.

Below is an overview of making this recipe, plus some process shots to help you visualize how this recipe should turn out.

Step 1) Prepare Your Fries 

Cut your potatoes into fry shapes and soak them in a large bowl of cold water for 30-60 minutes (I find it helpful to get my other ingredients prepped while the potatoes soak!).

Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with a clean cloth, then return them to your now-dry mixing bowl and mix in the oil, dried oregano, salt, and onion powder.

Step 2) Bake Your Fries

Tip the potatoes into your air fryer and cook at 200C for 20 minutes, giving the fries a shake halfway through. Try and get the fries as flat as possible so they all get an even crisp to them.

If you’re baking the fries, arrange them neatly on a baking sheet with a gap between each fry, then bake for 45 – 55 minutes until golden and crispy.

NOTE: I’ve cooked these Greek fries both in the air fryer and in the oven, and the air fryer gives me much better results every time. T

Step 3) Prepare The Greek Toppings

While your fries are cooking, dice the red onion and fresh herbs, and crumble your feta. Make the dip by combining the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, half of the minced garlic, and a pinch of salt.

Step 4) Coat The Fries

Toss the cooked fries in the other half of the minced garlic, and half of the fresh herbs, feta, and red onion. Then, arrange the Greek fries on your serving tray with the dip, and scatter over the remaining half of the toppings.

Expert Note

If you have a choice between baking your fries in the oven or air frying them, my recommendation would be to air fry them. I’ve tested this recipe both ways, and my air fryer gives me consistently more crispy fries every time.

Storing

These Greek fries are best served fresh, but you can store the leftovers if you have any. Store the Greek fries in an airtight container for up to 3-5 days, and reheat the fries in the oven until warm. The feta may get a little melty but I think that only adds to the flavor!
