Tips for Making the Best Greek Oven Fries:
- Choose the Right Potatoes: Use starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for a crispy exterior and fluffy interior.
- Cut the Potatoes Evenly: Uniformly sized fries ensure even cooking.
- Soak the Potatoes: Soaking in cold water removes excess starch, resulting in crispier fries.
- Dry the Potatoes Thoroughly: Pat the fries dry with paper towels to prevent soggy fries.
- Use Good Quality Olive Oil: Extra virgin olive oil adds flavor and crispiness.
- Season Generously: Don't be shy with salt, pepper, and oregano.
- Roast at High Temperature: High heat creates a golden-brown crust.
- Flip the Fries: Flipping halfway through cooking ensures even browning.
- Serve Immediately: Freshly baked fries are at their best.
Conclusion:
Greek oven fries are an easy and delicious side dish that can elevate any meal. With a crispy exterior, fluffy interior, and aromatic herbs, these fries are sure to be a hit. Experiment with different herbs and spices to create your own unique flavor combinations. Serve them as a side to grilled meats, fish, or vegetables, or enjoy them as a snack with your favorite dipping sauce. You might also enjoy using a variety of herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or marjoram.
