Golden, crispy, and bursting with Mediterranean flavors, these Greek Feta Roast Potatoes are the perfect side dish for holiday feasts or casual dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel and cut the potatoes into wedges, about 1 inch thick. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry with a kitchen towel.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Make sure each piece is evenly coated.
  4. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a large, rimmed baking sheet. Don’t overcrowd them.
  5. Roast the potatoes in the oven for 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even browning.
  6. Remove the potatoes from the oven and immediately sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top. The warmth of the potatoes will slightly soften the cheese.
  7. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

For extra crispiness, increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) for the last 5 minutes of roasting. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure the potatoes roast evenly.
