Description
Make flavorful roasted potatoes seasoned with lemon, oregano, and garlic, then baked with salty feta cheese until golden brown.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the cut potatoes, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
- Roast for 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the potatoes start to become tender and lightly browned.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the potatoes.
- Return the potatoes to the oven and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the feta is slightly softened and the potatoes are crispy on the edges.
- Serve immediately as a side dish.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning, then dry them completely.
- You can add 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika with the other seasonings for a deeper flavor.
- This dish pairs well with grilled chicken or lamb.
