Step 1

Peel and cut potatoes into 1/4-inch thick slices. Soak in water for a minimum of 2 hours or overnight. Remove fries from the water and dry very well.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a deep pot until it reaches 330 degrees F. Blanch potatoes in small batches in oil for 3 minutes or until just cooked through but not browned. Drain on paper towel and cool to room temperature. Heat the oil to 375 degrees F. Fry potatoes again for 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towel.

Step 3

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