Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 large russet potatoes peeled and cut into fries
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 lemon juiced

Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Large pot or deep fryer
  • Slotted spoon
  • Paper towels
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into uniform fries to ensure even cooking.
  2. Soak the cut fries in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
  3. Heat enough vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to submerge the fries to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with paper towels to prevent oil splatter and sogginess.
  5. Fry the potatoes in batches for about 5-7 minutes each until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Remove the fries with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels, and immediately season with salt, oregano, and garlic powder.
  7. Transfer the seasoned fries to a serving platter and sprinkle with crumbled feta and chopped parsley while still hot.
  8. Drizzle fresh lemon juice over the fries and serve immediately for a bright, tangy finish.

Notes

For extra crispiness, double fry the potatoes after cooling for 2-3 minutes and serve with tzatziki or lemony yogurt dip.
