GREEK FRENCH FRIES

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil. To test when it's ready, use the handle on a wooden spoon by placing it erect in the oil. If bubbles start forming around it, you know it's ready.
• Add the potatoes, being careful not to crowd them. If you put too many, the temperature of the oil will drop, and they will come out mushy. Fry them in batches instead.
• Once golden brown, remove and place on paper towels.
• Season with salt, pepper, and oregano.
• Add some grated cheese if you wish. Just remember not to salt the potatoes too much if you add the cheese.
• A few drops of lemon juice on top is a must for my Greek taste buds.

GREEK CHEESE FILLED FRICO CUPS

• Sprinkle 3 thin circles of cheese in a 3" circular pattern each into the pan. Cook until they have melted and formed a light golden crust, about 3 minutes. (NOTE: If you are new to making frico cups, you may want to use a small skillet, and make one at a time).
• Carefully lift and turn the layer of cheese with a spatula and cook until lightly golden on the 2nd side, about 1/2 a minute.
• Immediately remove the frico from the pan and shape it by laying it over an inverted mini muffin tin.
• Allow to cool slightly before filling. Fill with the cheese filling and serve immediately.
