Greek Potato Wedges with Yogurt Sauce

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.

These potatoes wedges are loaded with all your favorite Mediterranean spices and served with a cool, creamy yogurt sauce! The secret to getting the perfect flavor combination is to roast the wedges with dried herbs and olive oil and then finish them with chopped fresh herbs and lemon zest.

Why you’re going to love these Mediterranean potato wedges:

• They’re way more fun than traditional fries. Wedges are < than fries and they always will be! There is a place and time for fries, but wedges are always a welcomed surprise.
• The flavors are SO delish. The combination of dried oregano and rosemary combined with fresh dill and lemon zest is out of this world. The layers of flavor are truly a delight for your taste buds!
• They are the perfect vehicle for that cool, creamy yogurt sauce. I’m all about the sauce. And this yogurt sauce is no exception. It’s got similar flavors of the dill and fresh lemon but that cool, creamy yogurt (or vegan yogurt or sour cream) takes it to another level!

How to make Mediterranean potato wedges:

Grab some baby reds and slice them into wedges!

In a small measuring cup, combine olive oil with dried rosemary and oregano along with a few spices. Pour mixture over the potatoes wedges.

Gently toss to coat wedges in the seasoning mixture.

Spread them in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet.

The secret to getting the most perfect crispy wedge is to roast the potatoes at 450 and then crank the heat to 500 to finish them. This will allow them to cook through initially and then crisp up.

When the wedges are done, toss them in fresh dill and lemon zest and enjoy!

How to make this easy yogurt sauce:

Zest a lemon and chop up some fresh dill!

Add yogurt, dill and lemon zest to a small bowl. Add lemon juice and a large pinch of salt and pepper.

Whisk until well combined.

Serve as the perfect dipping sauce for your Greek potato wedges!

Different kinds of potatoes you can use instead of baby reds:

• Russet potatoes – just make sure you cut them into small, uniform wedges
• Yukon gold potatoes – they’ll give you a creamier, more tender inside but it will be a bit harder to get the outside as crisp as a baby red or a russet
• Sweet potatoes – their sweetness plays well with the savory seasonings used in this dish!

• Greek Turkey Burger
• Easy Greek Salad
• Quick Vegan Falafel

How to reheat leftover wedges:

I mean I don’t think you’ll have any leftovers, but if you do…

• You can preheat your oven to 400 degrees, spread the wedges in a single layer on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake them for about 5 minutes or until they are heated through.
• Sprinkle them with a bit of additional salt after reheating just to make the flavors pop too!

Are these potato wedges vegan?

• Yes! The wedges are made with no animal products which makes them a great option for vegans. But really they’re a great option for vegetarians and meat eaters alike!
• The yogurt sauce is not vegan. However, you could make it vegan by using a vegan sour cream!

Tips for making these Greek Potato Wedges:

• Slice the potatoes as uniformly as possible. This will ensure that they all bake evenly. A nice sharp knife will make slicing much easier.
• When picking your potatoes, try to choose taters that are the same size. This will make it easier to cut the same size wedges.
• Don’t skip the fresh dill and lemon zest at the end. The flavors of the fresh herbs and citrus are what make the dish taste so amazing!
