Fries

Method

Fries

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to make fries.

  2. 2

    Soak the Fries

    Place the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove excess starch.

  3. 3

    Dry and Fry

    Drain and thoroughly dry the soaked potatoes. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the potatoes in batches until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch.

  4. 4

    Season the Fries

    Remove the fries from the oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt to taste while they are still hot.

Gyro Meat

  1. 5

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine ground lamb, ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 6

    Shape the Meat

    Form the meat mixture into small patties or loaves, approximately 1/2 inch thick.

  3. 7

    Cook the Meat

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked and browned on the outside.

  4. 8

    Slice the Meat

    Once cooked, let the meat rest for a few minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.

Assembly

  1. 9

    Layer the Fries

    On a large serving platter, create a bed of crispy fries as the base.

  2. 10

    Add Gyro Meat

    Top the fries with the sliced gyro meat.

  3. 11

    Add Vegetables

    Sprinkle the diced tomatoes and sliced red onions over the meat.

  4. 12

    Drizzle with Sauce

    Finally, drizzle tzatziki sauce over the top, ensuring an even distribution.

  5. 13

    Serve

    Serve immediately while hot, garnished with additional sauce if desired.
