# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
02 -
Wash the potatoes, leaving the skins on, and cut them into 1/3-inch wide sticks. Ensure each fry is the same length as the potato.
03 -
Place the fries in a large bowl filled with cold water and soak them for 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and dry them thoroughly.

Add the fries into a large mixing bowl and toss them with olive oil, salt, dried oregano, dried dill, black pepper, and garlic powder.
05 -
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the potatoes out into an even layer.
06 -
Bake the fries for 15 minutes. Remove them from the oven, carefully flip, and return to bake for an additional 6 to 8 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown.
07 -
Transfer the baked fries to a serving plate. Sprinkle with finely chopped parsley, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
08 -
Serve with tzatziki, aioli, and/or lemon wedges. Greek fries are best served warm.
# Notes:
01 -
Soaking the potatoes in water removes excess starch, helping them crisp better during baking.
