Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into 1/4-inch thick matchsticks. Try to keep the size uniform for even baking.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the sliced potatoes, olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are well coated with the seasoning.
Step 4
Arrange the seasoned potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they bake evenly and become crispy.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and turn the fries with a spatula.
Step 6
Return the fries to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
Step 7
Once baked, transfer the fries to a serving platter. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the hot fries so that it slightly melts.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped parsley, drizzle with fresh lemon juice, and sprinkle lemon zest on top. Serve immediately and enjoy your heart-healthy snack!
