Greek Fries

These sound very yummy and I am definitely going to try this recipe but I have to tease you ;-) These should be called Italian Fries ;-)

My Greek Papa (Grampa) would be scratching his head wondering why these ingredients are being considered Greek and not Italian ;-) Here's a true Greek Fries recipe:

Greek Fries

4 cups vegetable oil
6 large potatoes
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
2 tbls fresh lemon juice
Dried oregano to taste
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste

Peel and cut potatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices.
Soak in water for 2 hours.
Remove fries from water and dry well.
Heat the oil in a deep fryer or deep pot until it reaches 375 degrees F.
Cook potatoes in batches in oil for 3 to 5 minutes or until crispy and brown.
Drain on paper or cloth towels.

Season the fries with salt, pepper and dried oregano.
Sprinkle with a little fresh lemon juice and crumbled feta.
