EmailIngredients:
potatoes
olive oil for frying
salt
oregano
grated Kefalotyri greek cheese
absolutely NO lemon
Procedure:
- 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!
