Recipe Instructions:
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). |
| 2 | Prepare Potatoes: Wash the baking potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut each potato lengthwise into 8 wedges, creating hearty, rustic fries. |
| 3 | Create Flavorful Coating: In a large bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, dried oregano, black pepper, salt, and minced garlic. Mix well until the flavors meld together, creating a fragrant marinade. |
| 4 | Coat Potatoes: Add the potato wedges to the bowl of marinade, tossing them gently to ensure they’re evenly coated in the flavorful mixture. Every wedge should glisten with the promise of deliciousness! |
| 5 | Arrange on Baking Sheet: Take a baking sheet and coat it lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Arrange the coated potato wedges on the baking sheet, placing them skin side down for extra crispiness. Make sure they’re spaced out evenly for optimal baking. |
| 6 | Bake to Perfection: Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and let the magic happen. Allow the potatoes to bake for approximately 45 minutes or until they’re tender on the inside and beautifully golden brown on the outside. Keep an eye on them towards the end to avoid any unwanted burning. |
| 7 | Serve and Enjoy: Once they’re done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the fries cool slightly before serving. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired, and pair them with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as they are. These Greek-style oven fries are perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a casual lunch, a midday snack, or a flavorful side dish at your next potluck gathering. Dive in and savor the irresistible combination of crispy exterior and fluffy interior, infused with the vibrant flavors of lemon, garlic, and oregano.

So go ahead, indulge in these wholesome and satisfying oven friesβthey’re a culinary adventure you won’t want to miss! |
