Description
Crispy baked potatoes topped with Greek-inspired ingredients like fresh tomatoes, feta cheese, Kalamata olives, and zesty lemon zest. A vibrant, flavorful dish perfect as an appetizer or light meal, combining warm fries with cool, tangy toppings for a Mediterranean crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients
2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch fries
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
1/4 cup diced fresh tomatoes
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 cup pitted Kalamata olives, sliced
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup tzatziki sauce (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
Toss potato fries with olive oil, sea salt, smoked paprika, and garlic powder
Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy
While fries bake, prepare a topping mix of diced tomatoes, feta cheese, olives, lemon zest, and parsley
Once fries are done, place them in a serving bowl and top with the tomato-feta mixture
Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and optionally serve with tzatziki sauce on the side
Notes
Adjust feta and olive quantities based on taste
Soaking potatoes in water for 30 minutes before baking prevents browning
Skip garlic powder for a simpler flavor
Tzatziki is not required; serve the fries with the tomato mix alone for a lighter version
Best served immediately for optimal crunch
