Dill French Fries with Lemon Dill Yogurt Dip

These oven-baked dill fries are made with Russet potatoes, olive oil, and fresh dill for a crispy, golden side. They’re herby, flavorful, and easy to make.

These oven-baked dill fries are crispy, golden, and packed with fresh flavor. Russet potatoes turn perfectly tender on the inside while crisping up around the edges, then get tossed with plenty of chopped dill for a bright, herby finish.

I love how simple they are, but still full of texture. The outside gets lightly crunchy, the inside stays soft and fluffy, and the dill adds a fresh, almost citrusy note that makes them feel a little different from your usual fries.

They’re delicious on their own, but I almost always serve them with a creamy lemon-dill sauce for dipping. It’s tangy, garlicky, and smooth—the perfect match for those crispy, herby fries.

Prep-ahead

While these fries are best served fresh, you can prep ahead to save time. Scrub and slice the potatoes, then place them in a bowl of cold water and leave them on the counter for a few hours. When you’re ready to cook, make sure to dry them really well—I find a salad spinner works best for this.

The lemon-dill dip can also be made in advance and keeps well in the fridge for several days, so it’s easy to have it ready to go.

4

Ingredients

• ▢ 1 ½ lb Russet potatoes (cut into fries – see notes)
• ▢ 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ▢ 4 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill (divided)
• ▢ ½ teaspoon sea salt

Lemon Dill Yogurt Sauce

• ▢ ¼ cup Greek yogurt
• ▢ 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• ▢ 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed is best)
• ▢ 1 tablespoon finely chopped dill
• ▢ 1 small garlic clove (finely minced)
• ▢ 1 pinch sea salt (more to taste)

Instructions 

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix the potatoes, olive oil, 2 tablespoons of the dill, and salt.
  1 ½ lb Russet potatoes, 2 tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon sea salt
  
• Divide the fries between the two prepared baking sheets. (Don't try to cram them all on one baking sheet or they won't crisp.) Bake for 35 minutes, switching the racks that the baking sheets are on halfway through.
  
• While the fries are baking, mix the lemon dill sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
  ¼ cup Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 small garlic clove, 1 pinch sea salt, 1 tablespoon finely chopped dill
  
• Once the fries are golden, soft on the inside, and slightly crispy on the outside, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of dill over top. Serve the fries with the lemon dill sauce on the side.
  

Notes

Scrub the potatoes; There’s no need to peel them. Then cut the potatoes into ½ inch sticks. For crispier fries, you can rinse the cut potatoes until cold water a few times then dry them using a salad spinner.
