Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Potatoes

Peel and cut the potatoes into even sticks or wedges.
Rinse under cold water to remove excess starch.
Pat very dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness.

Step 2: Season and Bake (or Air Fry)

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) or air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Toss fries with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in your air fryer basket.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway, or air fry for 18–22 minutes, until golden and crisp.

Step 3: Add the Feta and Finishing Touches

Once fries are hot and crispy, transfer to a large bowl or platter.
Immediately toss with crumbled feta cheese.
Add lemon zest, lemon juice, grated garlic (if using), and chopped herbs.
Drizzle lightly with olive oil and gently toss to coat.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Serve warm with extra lemon wedges on the side.
Pair with tzatziki, yogurt dip, or enjoy on their own!

Notes

Use Russet or Yukon Gold – They crisp up beautifully and hold their shape.
Dry Thoroughly – This prevents soggy fries and helps them crisp.
Crumble Feta Fresh – Pre-crumbled versions can be dry; fresh blocks offer better texture.
Toss While Hot – Warm fries absorb flavor and help soften the cheese.
Add a Sauce – A quick yogurt dip, garlic aioli, or herbed tahini is perfect on the side.
