Greek Fries
Ingredients
Greek Fries
4 cups vegetable oil (1 litre)
6 large Yukon gold potatoes
Assembly
Dried Greek oregano, to taste
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled (250 ml)
2 tbsp of fresh lemon juice (30 ml)
Coarse salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley (15 ml)
Directions
Greek Fries
Peel and cut potatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices. Soak in water for a minimum of 2 hours or overnight. Remove fries from the water and dry very well.
Heat the oil in a deep pot until it reaches 330 degrees F. Blanch potatoes in small batches in oil for 3 minutes or until just cooked through but not browned. Drain on paper towel and cool to room temperature. Heat the oil to 375 degrees F. Fry potatoes again for 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towel.
Assembly
Season the fries with salt and pepper and dried oregano. Sprinkle with a little fresh lemon juice, chopped parsley and crumbled feta. Serve immediately.
