Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 6 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into wedges or thick slices, about 1/2 inch thick.
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the potato wedges and boil for 5-7 minutes, or until they are just tender but not fully cooked.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes to remove excess moisture.
Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the potato wedges in a single layer. Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your pan.
Transfer the crispy potatoes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Season with half of the salt and black pepper while they are still warm.
In the same pan, lower the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mince the garlic cloves finely and sauté them in the oil for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the red wine vinegar, water, dried oregano, and the remaining salt and black pepper to the pan. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes to create a light garlic sauce.
Return the crispy potatoes to the pan and toss them gently in the garlic sauce, ensuring they are well-coated.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer. Enjoy your flavorful Patates Skortou!
