How to Make Greek Potato Wedges with Yogurt Sauce

Prep the Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash and slice baby red potatoes into even wedges so they cook uniformly and crisp up evenly.

Season the Wedges

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, oregano, rosemary, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture over the potato wedges and toss well until every piece is fully coated with seasoning.

Bake Until Crispy

Spread the wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet to avoid overcrowding. Bake for 15 minutes, then flip and bake another 15 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 500°F (260°C) and continue baking for 15 minutes. Flip again and bake for another 5–10 minutes until crispy and golden.

Add Fresh Flavor

Once baked, remove the potatoes from the oven and immediately toss them with fresh chopped dill and lemon zest. This step adds a bright, fresh Mediterranean finish.

Serve with Yogurt Sauce

Serve warm with a creamy yogurt dipping sauce on the side for a cool and tangy contrast.

Tips for Success

• Cut potatoes evenly so they bake at the same rate
• Don’t overcrowd the baking tray—this ensures crispiness
• Flip wedges during baking for even browning
• Add dill and lemon zest right after baking for maximum freshness
• Use high heat at the end to achieve extra crispy edges

Equipment Needed

• Baking sheet
• Mixing bowls
• Sharp knife

Recipe Variations
