I don’t know about you, but I do not waste my time on tasteless, limp fries. If I am eating fries I want them to be piping hot, crispy, and seasoned to perfection.

With this recipe make the fries you own way (oven baked, air fried, deep fried, or pan fried), broil the cheeses, and top with my delicious lemon olive oil sauce. This recipe is guaranteed to have you weak in the knees!

Ingredients In Lemon Feta Fries

  • Waffle Fries: Make them how ever you prefer, this recipe is all about the sauce and cheese. You can oven bake them, air fry, deep fry, pan fry, etc.
  • Olive Oil
  • A Lemon: We are using it two ways for ultimate lemon flavor, zest it first then juice it.
  • Spices: garlic powder, dried oregano, dried parsley, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. The red pepper flakes are optional, but the kick of spice is so good!
  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • Feta Cheese Crumbles
Ingredients needed are waffle fries, olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, oregano, parsley, garlic powder, salt and pepper, feta cheese, and mozzarella cheese.

How To Make Lemon Feta Fries

Make your waffle fries. I prefer to bake mine but feel free to make them however you prefer; air fry, deep fry, pan fry, etc.

Whisk up the lemon olive oil sauce: olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried parsley, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. I highly recommend making this sauce ahead of time and allowing it to chill in the refrigerator. This allows everything to meld together and amplifies the flavor of the sauce.

Sprinkle on cheeses and broil. Sprinkle all of the mozzarella cheese on top and only 6 ounces of feta cheese, set the remainder aside. Broil on low for 5 minutes. Just a note, broiling on high tends to char and burn the fries, yuck!

Drizzle with sauce. Make sure each of the waffle fries has a good amount of lemon olive oil sauce. You can also serve more of the sauce on the side too. Yes, it is that delicious!

Top with remaining feta cheese. Eat them while they are piping hot!

Lemon Feta Fries ready to eat as appetizer or side for any meal!

Frequently Asked Questions About Lemon Feta Fries

Can I use other types of fries?

I recommend waffle fries because they have all the crevices to hold onto the cheeses and lemon olive oil sauce. But you can use whatever you prefer as well!

Can Lemon Feta Fries be reheated?

YES! An they aren’t that bad either. All you have to do is arrange your leftover lemon feta fries in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes or until crispy.

    These were SO good!! The flavor in the sauce was amazing. I didn’t need the full amount of cheese, so my bag of waffle fries may have been a little smaller than normal. Thanks for a hit recipe!
