Lemon and oregano make these fried potatoes special enough for a company meal. I love Greek food and the freshness that lemon brings.

How To Make fried greek potatoes

Step 1

Combine the potatoes, lemon juice, salt, pepper and oregano in a bowl, mix well and allow the potatoes to marinate for an hour or so.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a wok or deep skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke.
Step 3

Add the marinated potatoes and fry them, tossing gently but often, until they begin to brown.
Step 4

Adjust the seasonings, adding additional salt, pepper, lemon juice and oregano, as desired.
Step 5

Cook until nicely browned and just tender. Do not let the potatoes get so soft that they fall apart.
