Preheat oven to 425°F. Place potatoes and water in medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are fork tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain. Coat a baking sheet with 2 tablespoons of oil. Place potatoes on baking sheet and use the back of a spatula to gently smash each potato. Drizzle potatoes with 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and pepper. Bake until crispy and browned, about 15 minutes.
While potatoes are in the oven, cook ground beef and chopped onion in large skillet over medium-high heat until browned and crumbled, about 5 minutes; drain. Add tomato sauce, wine, garlic, oregano and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt to skillet; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Shred half of the cucumber on the large side of a box grater. Place on clean kitchen towel and sqeeze out as much water as possible. Chop the rest of the cucumber into bite sized pieces; set aside. Stir together Greek yogurt, shredded cucumber, feta cheese and mint in small bowl; set aside. Stir together chopped cucumber, tomatoes, sliced onion, red wine vinegar and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in another small bowl.
To serve, spread some yogurt sauce on the bottom of a pita. Top with beef, cucumber salad and shredded lettuce. Serve immediately with crispy potatoes on the side.
