INGREDIENTS

  • 1 28 oz bag of frozen french fries rosemary, if you can find them

  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 lb ground American lamb

  • 1 tsp Kosher salt

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • ½ tsp dried thyme

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp onion powder

  • ¼ tsp freshly groundblack pepper

Toppings

  • Feta cheese

  • Pickled red onions

  • Lemon wedges

  • Whipped feta dip, and/or tzatziki

DIRECTIONS

Make the french fries by following the package instructions

Cook the lamb. Heat 2 Tbsp of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the ground lamb, then sprinkle with 1 tsp Kosher salt, 1 tsp dried oregano, ½ tsp dried thyme, ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp onion powder, and ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally to break up, until the lamb is fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside. USDA reccomends ground lamb reach an internal temp of 160F.

Assemble the Greek fries. Use 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.
