- 6 yukon gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ cup feta cheese crumbled
- ½ cup fresh parsley chopped
- ½ lemon optional
Preheat the oven to 400°F and coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly and then dry them well.
Slice the potatoes into ¼-inch sticks and place them in a large bowl.
To the potatoes, add the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper and dried oregano. Toss well to make sure all the potato sticks are well coated.
Spread the potatoes on the baking sheet in one single layer. Make sure they don't overlap.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Flip the potatoes and then bake for another 15 minutes until they are crispy and golden.
Once baked, transfer the oven baked fries to a serving platter and top with crumbled feta, chopped parsley. Drizzle with some lemon juice if desired.
-
Adding freshly grated or minced garlic to this recipe makes all the difference. I strongly suggest that you peel the garlic and mince or grate it yourself. Not the packaged minced garlic, not garlic paste or garlic powder, but freshly minced garlic.
-
You can opt for other spices such as cumin, coriander, paprika or thyme as well.
-
Layering the potatoes in one layer will help with even cooking and crispiness.
- Reheating instructions: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spread the fries on a baking sheet in a single layer and reheat for 10 minutes until hot and crispy.
