Greek Potatoes with Lemon & Feta Cheese

  • Author: Avery

Description

These Mediterranean-inspired roasted potatoes combine the bright flavors of fresh lemon with creamy, tangy feta cheese. The baby potatoes become perfectly golden and crispy on the outside while staying fluffy inside, infused with aromatic garlic and oregano. This simple yet elegant side dish brings the taste of the Greek islands to your dinner table and pairs beautifully with grilled vegetables, fish, or chicken.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Juice and zest of 2 lemons
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss until the potatoes are well coated.
  3. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
  5. Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top.
  6. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the feta to warm slightly.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For extra crispy potatoes, pat them dry before tossing with oil. You can substitute regular potatoes cut into chunks if baby potatoes aren’t available. For a vegan version, omit the feta or substitute with vegan cheese. These potatoes are best served immediately while hot and crispy.
