Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized Potatoes
• 1 cup Olive oil
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.25 cup Feta cheese (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick, hand-cut style fries. Aim for pieces about 1/4 inch thick to ensure they cook evenly.

Step 2

Rinse the potato pieces under cold water to remove excess starch. Pat them dry thoroughly with a kitchen towel to avoid splattering when frying.

Step 3

In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers but does not smoke.

Step 4

Carefully add the potatoes to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.

Step 5

Cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally, for about 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Step 6

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked fries to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano while still hot.

Step 7

Once all the potatoes are cooked, reduce the heat to medium and carefully crack the eggs into the same frying pan (add more oil if needed). Fry them for 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. You can cook them longer if you prefer the yolks firm.

Step 8

To assemble, divide the fries among serving plates. Top each plate with one fried egg.

Step 9

Optional: Crumble feta cheese over the top for an extra layer of flavor. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately while hot and enjoy this comforting Greek dish.
