The simple taste of russet potatoes is highlighted in this lighter version of oven-baked french fries using dill. They’re crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, perfectly salted, and dusted with the bright, fresh dill flavor.
Serve them as you would any French fry, with your favorite condiment, or try them with our tasty, creamy lemon-dill sauce. We love the classic burger-and-french-fry combination, but they’re so versatile on their own. They’re simple to prepare, and better yet, the oven does all the cooking!
What to serve with dill french fries
These dill french fries are so versatile and pair well with almost anything. We especially love eating them with a homemade burger like our lemon salmon burgers or chicken feta spinach burger.
They also make a delicious afternoon or game-day snack with other appetizers like shrimp cakes with lemon aioli, chorizo-stuffed mushroom caps, or buffalo turkey meatballs.
Here’s what you’ll need to make french fries with dill
The dill French fries take just four simple ingredients: Potatoes, olive oil, dill, and sea salt.
This is everything you’ll need for the tangy lemon dill dip: Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, dill, garlic, and sea salt.
Tip: 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.

- 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
