Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes and Seasoning
- 2 lbs baby potatoes (halved or quartered)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- juice of 1 lemon
- zest of 1 lemon
Toppings
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved or quartered baby potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and lemon zest until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Roast Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast them in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking, until they are golden brown, crispy on the edges, and tender on the inside.
- Add Toppings: Remove the potatoes from the oven and immediately sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese, chopped fresh parsley, and fresh dill if using. Toss gently to combine all the flavors.
- Serve: Serve the warm Greek Feta Roast Potatoes as a delicious side dish alongside grilled chicken, lamb, or fish for a full Mediterranean meal experience.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 20 minutes before roasting and dry them thoroughly.
- These potatoes pair beautifully with grilled chicken, lamb, or fish.
- Fresh dill is optional but adds a lovely herby aroma and taste.
- Use baby potatoes for best results; larger potatoes can be cut accordingly.
