- 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 optional
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 piece of 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 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!
