Equipment

  • large sauce pot or
  • fry basket

Ingredients

  • Potatoes (average 1 – 2 large potatoes per serving, depending on how hungry people are) we prefer yellow flesh potatoes
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano

Instructions

  • Prepare your potatoes by peeling them, cutting them into 1/4 inch thick slices, and soaking them for at least an hour (longer is better) in cold water.
  • Drain potatoes and dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  • Heat oil in deep frying pan or a pot (at least 1 inch of oil).
  • Insert one potato and when that potato starts to sizzle, drop additional potatoes into the oil carefully.  Do not overcrowd the pan.  Cook over medium / high heat for approximately 15 minutes or until potatoes are golden brown on all sides.
  • Remove carefully with a slotted spoon and let drain in a colander lined with paper towels.  Sprinkle with sea salt and oregano while still hot.
  • Repeat with remaining potatoes.
  • Enjoy!
