Crispy Greek-Style Fries (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ For the fries
01 -
4 large Yukon Gold Potatoes
02 -
3 tablespoons olive oil
03 -
1 teaspoon salt
04 -
1/2 teaspoon oregano
05 -
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
06 -
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
07 -
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
→ For the toppings
08 -
1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
09 -
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
10 -
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
11 -
tzatziki, aioli or lemon wedges, optional
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
Wash the potatoes well, leaving the skins on for extra flavor. Cut them into even sticks about 1/3-inch wide, keeping each fry the same length as the potato for even cooking.
03 -
Place the cut fries in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 10-15 minutes. This removes excess starch for crispier fries. After soaking, drain and thoroughly pat them dry.
04 -
In a large mixing bowl, toss the dried potato sticks with olive oil, salt, dried oregano, dried dill, black pepper and garlic powder until evenly coated.
05 -
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, then carefully flip them over. Return to the oven for another 6-8 minutes until crisp and golden brown.
06 -
Transfer the hot fries to a serving plate and sprinkle with fresh parsley, chopped red onion, and crumbled feta cheese. Serve immediately with tzatziki, aioli, or lemon wedges on the side.
# Notes:
01 -
Greek fries are best enjoyed warm right after adding the toppings.
02 -
The cold water soak helps remove excess starch from the potatoes, resulting in crispier fries.
