Ingredients
Directions
- Fill a large bowl with water and add the potato sticks. If they rise to the surface, place a plate on top to submerge them. Leave for at least 30 minutes and up to 24 hours. If soaking longer than 2 hours, place the bowl in the refrigerator. Soaking will help remove the excess starch from the potatoes and keep them from oxidizing and browning.
- In a Dutch oven, pour in enough oil to come two-thirds the way up the sides of the pot. Add a deep-fry thermometer and heat the oil to 325℉.
- Drain the potatoes. Pat the potatoes thoroughly dry; get as much water off as possible since any liquid will cause the oil to sputter and spit and could be dangerous.
- Working in batches, carefully add a handful of potatoes to the hot oil. Par-cook until the potatoes are very light brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon, gently shake off excess oil, and let them drain on paper towels. Repeat until all of the potatoes are par-cooked.
- Raise the heat of the oil to 350℉. Working in batches again, cook the par-cooked fries until golden brown, about 2 minutes per batch. Remove from the oil, shake off excess oil, and season the fries lightly with kosher salt.
- Transfer the warm fries to a platter and top with feta and oregano. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with flaky salt. Serve immediately.
