Delicious Greek-Style Loaded Potatoes

Protein

if you’re looking for a hearty and flavorful meal that feels like comfort food but still packs in plenty of nutrients, these greek-style loaded potatoes are it.

think crispy roasted potato slices piled high with juicy seasoned “beef” (or real beef if you prefer), creamy homemade tzatziki, and a medley of fresh toppings like cherry tomatoes, cucumber, kalamata olives, and red onion.

every bite is bursting with savory, tangy, and refreshing flavors.

taste + texture
the base is all about those golden potato slices — slightly crisp at the edges, soft and fluffy in the middle.

the seasoned protein adds a rich, savory depth, while the tzatziki brings a cool, garlicky creaminess. fresh toppings like tomatoes and cucumber give every bite a crisp pop, and olives add that signature briny punch.

it’s basically the best parts of a greek mezze platter stacked into one dish.

greek food inspiration
this dish is inspired by the bold, vibrant flavors of greek cuisine — the kind you’d find at a small taverna by the sea.

the combination of potatoes, fresh vegetables, and yogurt-based tzatziki is a nod to the way greeks balance hearty comfort foods with refreshing, zesty elements.

substitution options

protein: swap abbot’s butcher ground “beef” for real ground beef, or even seasoned lentils or chickpeas for a plant-based twist.
potatoes: you can use sweet potatoes for a different flavor profile.
yogurt: dairy-free greek yogurt works perfectly for a vegan version.
toppings: add crumbled feta (dairy-free or regular), roasted red peppers, or even artichoke hearts for extra variety.

perfect weeknight dinner
this recipe is ideal for a busy weeknight because it’s simple to prep and bakes in under an hour.

while the potatoes roast, you can cook the protein and make the tzatziki, so everything comes together quickly.

it’s also customizable, so everyone can top their portion however they like.

tips + tricks

slice potatoes evenly (about 1/4 inch) for uniform cooking.
squeeze the grated cucumber well before adding it to the tzatziki to keep it from becoming watery.
for extra crispy potatoes, preheat your baking sheet in the oven before adding the slices.
if using real beef, drain excess fat after cooking to keep the dish light.

nutritional benefits
with around 32g of protein per serving, this meal is incredibly satisfying.

the potatoes provide complex carbs for energy, while greek yogurt delivers probiotics and calcium. fresh veggies add antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, and olive oil offers healthy fats for heart health.

storage
store leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.

keep the potatoes, protein, tzatziki, and toppings separate if possible for best texture.

reheat potatoes and protein in a skillet or oven, then assemble with fresh toppings when ready to serve.
