Συστατικά:

potatoes
olive oil for frying
salt
oregano
grated Kefalotyri greek cheese
absolutely NO lemon

Οδηγίες:

  • Peel and cut the potatoes into thick pieces, roughly the size of a woman's index finger. If you are making a big quantity put them in water so as not to turn black!
  • Drain and blot the potato pieces dry.
  • Heat about an inch of olive oil in a large heavy skillet and drop as many potatoes as will fit in one layer in the pan.
  • Cover and sweat in the oil over low heat until the potatoes begin to turn golden.
  • Remove the cover, raise the heat to high, and carefully turn the potatoes, preferably one piece at a time, continuously until they are a beautiful golden brown.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon and continue the process with the rest until all the potatoes are fried. Make sure the temperature of the oil rises again, before adding the next batch.
  • Serve sprinkled with salt, oregano and grated cheese.
  • Do not squeeze lemon juice over them as this will soften the fries and all your careful work at the skillet will have gone to naught!
