Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 large russet potatoes
Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking crispy fries.
- Prepare the potatoes: Wash and cut the russet potatoes into fry-shaped pieces, making sure they are evenly sized for uniform cooking.
- Toss fries with seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the cut fries with olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat all fries evenly.
- Arrange for baking: Spread the seasoned fries in a single layer on a baking sheet, avoiding overlap to help them crisp up properly during baking.
- Bake the fries: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through if desired, until the fries are golden brown and crispy.
- Add feta cheese: Remove the fries from the oven and immediately sprinkle crumbled feta cheese evenly over the hot fries so it slightly melts.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for color and freshness before serving your delicious Greek feta fries.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before baking and then pat dry thoroughly.
- You can customize the herbs by adding thyme or rosemary along with oregano.
- Serve with a side of tzatziki or your favorite dipping sauce for an authentic Mediterranean touch.
- Use feta cheese at room temperature for better melting and flavor distribution.
