Is there anything better than a big bucket of fries??
I don’t think I know a single soul who does not like a good french fry. Sure, some prefer thick cut, some super skinny, and others may be somewhere in the middle, but either way it seems everyone loves fries.
Me? I’ll eat them pretty much any way they are presented, but I think my favorite is slim jim style or maybe a good thick cut homestyle oven-baked fry. As long as they’re not too greasy (no fast food fries – only real potatoes cooked in a healthy oil), whichever way they are sliced, they’re all good to me. Salty, comforting carbs, I am so into them.
I especially think of fries in the summertime though. I think this is because my summers as a kid were spent eating fries from the pool snack bar. Anyone else have similar memories?
We didn’t belong to a country club (cause we’d get kicked out in a second), but my grandparents, cousins and friends all did. This meant summer at the pool, eating fries at the snack bar and pretty much loving life.
I was also into the extra crispy, totally deep-fried chicken fingers. Basically I loved anything I could dunk into ketchup, which until just writing this, I hadn’t even realized I liked so much, but I guess I am a ketchup girl…that shouldn’t be surprising since I eat tomato paste straight out of the can.
No, I do, I LOVE it. I also got Asher started when she was very little. She LOVES it, we’ve been eating tomato paste straight out of the can together for years!
Promise I will not tell you to dip your fries into tomato paste…although I do think it would be good.
Instead, I am going to tell you to dip your fries into what all fries really NEED, roasted garlic saffron aioli.
Oh my gosh, yes.
Wait though! I didn’t even tell you about these skinny Greek feta fries yet. They are Greek and full of herbs and feta cheese. Yes, fries AND feta cheese, sounds so good right?!? Because it is, AND I baked the fries instead of frying them, so they are kind of not bad for us right??
Yes, totally.
I cut mine super thin since I like them nice and crispy, but obviously feel free to cut them whichever way you prefer. Just make sure you do ONE thing.
Lots, and lots of feta!! 🙂
And then make the aioli, or if aioli isn’t really your thing just use ketchup, or if you really just prefer your fries straight up, then these are most definitely perfect for that too.
The feta kind of steals the show.
I mean, it’s feta. It’s the best. And on fries? Perfection.
As is the aioli…if it’s your thing, I feel like people either love it or hate it, but if you love it, make this aioli. SO GOOD.
Oh, and one last thing, thinking these would be the perfect side/appetizer for the 4th of July??

Yup, you should probably make these now, you know, just for a test run… and then again on the 4th. Sounds like a plan to me!
I wanna eat my screen. Is that healthy?? 😉
feta fries and garlic aioli, oh yes please count me in, I am so much into this recipe that I emailed my husband the link and told him that this is his dinner, he didn’t complain, he send me back a heart 🙂
If I met someone who didn’t like fries, I couldn’t be friends with them. Plain and simple!
These look great, I really love skinny fries!

Isn’t everything all the better with a little (or big) sprinkling of feta?
I agree with Cassie. . .sweet potatoes are my thang. . .so i would do a potato switcharoo.
Beautiful! I would def try this with sweet potatoes!
Woah these look amazing! Roasted garlic saffron aioli?! This sounds heavenly! Fab recipe!
Errr all my favourite things in one bowl!! Seriously Alioli is like life nectar!! Also still loving the blue background!!
Oh my gosh – thin fries are my spirit animal. I LOVE this recipe, and I cannot wait to try it!
I remember a summer at Cedar Point and getting up early and walking around the park before it opened waiting for them to get the french fries ready.
You can’t even do that now.
Yum !!! sounds delish !!!
Oh my, I’m kind of dying here and salivating. THese are sure to be sooooo goood!!!

Feta…garlic..fries…I don’t beleive that life gets any better than that
Heck, yes! These look so delicious in all of their feta glory and I bet the aioli is amazing!
Feta? fries? oh yeah….
definitely more of a thick cut fry person (so long as they’re creamy on the inside and crunchy on the outside), but i still love any fries. and this aioli sounds so good (roasted garlic in any form is hard to resist)!
