4 large sebago or golden delight potatoes, peeled, cut into 2cm-thick chips
Sunflower oil, to deep-fry
1/2 tsp sumac
1/2 tsp dried Greek oregano (rigani)
50g kasseri (semi-hard sheep’s milk cheese)
50g sheep’s milk feta

Method

1.

Rinse potato chips under cold water to remove excess starch, then soak in lightly salted water for 2 hours to season.
2.

Half-fill a deep fryer or large saucepan with oil and heat over medium heat to 120°C. In batches, deep-fry chips for 8 minutes to par-cook. Drain on paper towel and set aside for 30 minutes or until completely cool. Reserve oil in fryer.
3.

When ready to serve, heat oil to 180°C. Combine sumac, oregano and 1 tsp salt. In batches, deep-fry chips for 5-6 minutes until golden and crunchy. Drain on paper towel, then transfer to a serving bowl.
4.

Toss with sumac salt, then grate over kasseri and crumble over feta to serve.
