Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup, crumbled Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh dill
- 1 medium (zested and juiced) Lemon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Wash and peel the potatoes (optional, depending on your preference). Slice each potato lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick fries.
Place the sliced potatoes in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Let them soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps make them crispier when baked.
Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss the dried potato slices in the seasoning mixture until evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Use two baking sheets if necessary to allow for even cooking.
Bake for 20 minutes, then carefully flip the fries using a spatula. Continue baking for an additional 15 minutes or until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
While the fries are baking, prepare the garnish by crumbling the feta cheese and chopping the fresh parsley and dill. Zest and juice the lemon, and set these toppings aside.
Once the fries are done, transfer them to a serving platter. Sprinkle the crumbled feta evenly over the hot fries, followed by the chopped parsley and dill.
Just before serving, drizzle with freshly squeezed lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest for a burst of brightness.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Greek Style Oven Fries with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side to grilled meat or seafood.
