Fry the Potatoes
In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the cut fries in batches and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt while hot.

Marinate the Lamb
In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the cubed lamb shoulder and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

Skewer and Grill the Lamb
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers. Grill for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
