Fries

Method

Fries Preparation

  1. 1

    Cutting the Potatoes

    Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into thin fries, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Soaking the Potatoes

    Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and makes the fries crispier.

  3. 3

    Drying the Fries

    After soaking, drain the fries and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove moisture.

  4. 4

    Frying the Fries

    In a deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the dried fries in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch.

  5. 5

    Seasoning the Fries

    Remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. While still hot, season with kosher salt, dried oregano, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Feta Topping Preparation

  1. 6

    Mixing the Topping

    In a small bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, chopped fresh parsley, and lemon juice. Stir well to combine.

  2. 7

    Serving

    Once the fries are ready and seasoned, top them with the feta mixture just before serving.
