Ingredients

  • 2 lbs russet potatoes
  • extra virgin olive oil, for deep frying about 2-3 inches to cover fries
  • 4 oz crumbled feta cheese add more if you like!
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Greek oregano
  • sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Peel potatoes and cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick sticks. Do you best to cut uniformly so the potatoes cook evenly.
  • Soak the cut up potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes. Drain and rinse the potatoes.
  • Lay the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with paper towels to absorb any excess water. Blot the potatoes dry with additional paper towels.
  • Add 2-3 inches of extra virgin olive oil, enough to cover fries, to a deep frying pan. Heat olive oil over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
  • Fry the potatoes in the hot olive oil and stir occasionally with a large slotted spoon until they begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Scoop out the cooked french fries with the slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel lined plate to absorb any excess olive oil. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper to taste. (Note, you may need to fry the potatoes in batches depending on the size of your frying pan.)
  • Transfer half the french fries to a serving dish. Sprinkle with 3/4 tablespoon of Greek oregano and 2 ounces (or more!) of crumbled feta. Top with the remaining french fries. Sprinkle the remaining Greek oregano and 2 ounces (or more!) of crumbled feta. Serve immediately!
