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!
