Ingredients
- 1 (28-oz) bag of frozen French fries (Rosemary French fries, if you can find them!)
- 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pound ground American lamb
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
For Serving:
- Feta cheese
- Pickled red onions
- Fresh Dill or oregano or parsley
- Lemon wedges
- Whipped Feta dip
- Tzatziki for serving
Directions
Make the French fries. Place frozen fries on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, then bake until the fries are crispy on the outside, but tender and fluffy on the inside. If following package directions, this is usually about 20-24 minutes total at 425 degrees F.
Cook the lamb. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the ground lamb, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon Kosher salt, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally to break up, until the lamb is fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.* Set aside.
*Note: USDA recommends ground lamb reach an internal temperature of 160F.
Assemble the Greek fries by using a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked lamb on top of the crispy fries (directly on the baking sheet or on a platter), then scatter with crumbled feta, pickled red onions, and fresh dill or oregano (fresh parsley is good too! if using). Serve with lemon wedges and whipped feta or Tzatziki.
