How to Make Greek Oven Fries

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub 2 lbs russet potatoes thoroughly.
Cut each potato lengthwise into 8 wedges.
Place potato wedges in a large bowl, cover with cold water, and let soak for 30 minutes to remove excess starch.
Drain the potatoes completely and pat them dry with paper towels. This is crucial for crispy fries!
In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Arrange potato wedges skin-side down on a large greased baking sheet. Ensure they're not overcrowded for even browning.
In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
Sprinkle the oregano, salt, and pepper mixture evenly over the potatoes.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the fries are golden brown and tender, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with 1 tablespoon malt vinegar. Serve hot and enjoy!
