Ingredients In Greek Lemon Feta Fries

These fries are smothered in a lemon herb sauce and 2 types of cheese! Keep reading for notes on each ingredient and potential substitutions.

Waffle Fries: I love using them because they catch all the sauce and cheese beautifully. You can also use regular French fries, steak fries, or whichever you prefer. Also, you can oven bake your fries, air fry, deep fry, pan fry, etc.
Olive Oil: Mild taste, extra virgin olive oil is my go-to. It has a high smoke point so it won’t burn under the broiler.
Lemon: We will use both the zest and juice of a fresh lemon. So, make sure you wash your lemon, zest it first, and then juice it.
Spices: For the lemon herb oil you will need a combination of 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: This makes these fries super melty and gooey. I do not recommend swapping it out. The mild flavor doesn’t overpower the feta.
Feta Cheese: You’ll want to grab plain feta cheese. It can either be crumbled or a block that you chop and crumble yourself.

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 Greek Lemon Feta Fries

Here’s a quick summary showing you how to make these fries. The recipe card further down will have complete details.

MAKE THE LEMON HERB SAUCE. Whisk together extra virgin olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried parsley, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.

CONSTRUCT THE FRIES. Top your fully cooked and crispy fries with the mozzarella cheese and 4 ounces of the feta cheese. Broil on low for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melty and gooey. Drizzle with the lemon herb sauce and top with the rest of the feta cheese.

SERVE PIPING HOT. I like to keep some extra sauce on the side for dipping. Yes, it’s that delicious!

4 Notes and Tips You Need To Read

This Greek Lemon Feta Fries recipe is easy, but there are a few things I want you to know.

1. CRISPY FRIES YOUR WAY. The great part about this recipe is you can make the waffle fries how you want. I prefer to bake mine, but I know a lot of people like to air fry or deep fry theirs. You do you, boo!

2. REFRIGERATE THE LEMON HERB SAUCE. I highly recommend making this sauce ahead of time, 30 minutes minimum, and allow it to chill in the refrigerator. This amplifies the flavors of the sauce and allows everything to meld together.

3. KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR BROILER. Because these fries are already cooked and crispy, the broiler should be set to low. Broiling this recipe on high tends to char and burn the fries, yuck!

4 SWAP THE DRIED SPICES FOR FRESH. This recipe is written for year-round ease. But if you’re like me and your garden is bursting with garlic, oregano, and parsley in the summertime you may want to swap them out. For every 1 teaspoon of dried spices you will need 1 tablespoon of fresh.

Frequently Asked Questions – FAQ’s

Can other types of fries be used?

I recommend waffle fries because they have all the crevices to hold onto the cheeses and lemon olive oil sauce. But yes, you can use other types as well- regular French fries, steak fries, tater tots, etc.

Can I reheat my Greek Lemon Feta Fries?

Yes, and 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.
