These Roasted Greek Potato Wedges, also known as Greek Fries, are a flavorful and crispy side dish perfect for any meal. Seasoned with oregano, garlic, and lemon, then topped with feta and fresh herbs, they are a delightful twist on traditional potato wedges.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Potato Wedges:

  • 2 pounds russet or Yukon gold potatoes, cut into thick wedges
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon

Additional Toppings:

  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or dill
  • Optional: tzatziki for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and lemon juice until evenly coated.
  3. Roast: Spread the wedges on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25 minutes, then flip and roast for an additional 15–20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Finish: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with crumbled feta and herbs. Serve warm, with optional tzatziki.

Notes

  • For extra crispy wedges, soak the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting and pat them dry.
  • You can also finish them under the broiler for 2–3 minutes for a golden crunch.
