Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 6 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into wedges or thick slices, about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 2

In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the potato wedges and boil for 5-7 minutes, or until they are just tender but not fully cooked.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes to remove excess moisture.

Step 4

Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the potato wedges in a single layer. Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your pan.

Step 6

Transfer the crispy potatoes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Season with half of the salt and black pepper while they are still warm.

Step 7

In the same pan, lower the heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mince the garlic cloves finely and sauté them in the oil for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 8

Add the red wine vinegar, water, dried oregano, and the remaining salt and black pepper to the pan. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes to create a light garlic sauce.

Step 9

Return the crispy potatoes to the pan and toss them gently in the garlic sauce, ensuring they are well-coated.

Step 10

Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.

Step 11

Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer. Enjoy your flavorful Patates Skortou!
