Ingredient Notes
Potatoes: Any large potatoes suitable for baking can be used. Yellow potatoes with a waxy texture are a very good choice. It is essential that the potato slices are soaked before cooking to remove excess starch, thus obtaining a very crispy texture.
Toppings: For a specific Greek note, the potatoes are topped with chopped garlic, extra virgin olive oil, feta cheese and fresh herbs such as dill and parsley.
Sauce: Any creamy Greek sauce is suitable, such as tzatziki. You can also use a creamy sauce made from yogurt, lemon, tahini and garlic. A bowl of crumbled feta is another excellent option.
