Ingredients
  

For the Fries

  • 2 pounds (900 g) russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

For the Tzatziki

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • ½ cucumber, finely grated
  • 1 garlic clove, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper

For the Toppings

  • ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ½ cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cucumber, diced
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, optional
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly.
  • Place the dry potato fries in a large bowl.
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
  • Arrange the fries in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding.
  • For even more crispiness, finish under the broiler for 1–2 minutes while watching carefully.
  • Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
  • Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Chop the tomatoes and cucumber.
  • Transfer the hot crispy fries to a large serving platter.
  • Sprinkle with feta, Kalamata olives, tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.
  • Serve immediately while the fries are still hot and crisp.

Notes

  • Crispiness matters: Dry the potatoes thoroughly after soaking.
  • Avoid overcrowding: Give fries enough space to brown properly.
  • Tzatziki: Squeeze excess moisture from the cucumber to prevent watery sauce.
  • Feta: Crumble feta just before serving for the best texture.
  • Fresh toppings: Add vegetables after cooking to keep them crisp.
  • Serve immediately: Loaded fries soften as they sit.
  • Air fryer option: Fries can be air-fried in batches for extra crispness.
  • Protein: Grilled chicken or chickpeas can turn the dish into a more substantial meal.
