Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Oregano (dried)
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 Lemon
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Slice them into thin, uniform strips (about 1/4 inch thick) to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato slices in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps them crisp up.
While the potatoes soak, finely mince the garlic cloves and set them aside. Crumble the feta cheese and chop the parsley.
Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In the same large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Ensure the potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they’re not overcrowded to allow for even baking.
Bake the fries for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to achieve an even golden-brown color.
In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the minced garlic over the fries and return them to the oven to cook until aromatic.
Once done, remove the fries from the oven and immediately sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top so it softens slightly.
Transfer the fries to a serving platter and sprinkle them with chopped parsley. Drizzle freshly squeezed lemon juice over the top for a zesty pop of flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy, golden Greek French Fries!
