Prepare the Fries:

  1. Cut Potatoes: If using fresh potatoes, cut them into fries and soak them in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and pat them dry.
  2. Bake or Fry: Toss the fries with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy, or fry in hot oil until crispy.
  3. Season: Once done, season the fries with extra salt if needed.

Assemble the Shawarma Fries:

  1. Layer the Fries: Arrange the fries on a large serving plate.
  2. Top with Beef: Pile the cooked beef shawarma on top of the fries.
  3. Add Toppings: Drizzle with garlic sauce or toum, and add sliced pickles, diced tomatoes, red onion, and feta (if using). Garnish with fresh parsley.

Optional: Add a drizzle of hot sauce for some extra heat.

Serving:

Serve immediately while the fries are crispy, and enjoy this loaded, flavorful dish! Perfect as a fun appetizer, snack, or even a main meal.
