Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 2 teaspoons Dried thyme
- 1 piece Lemon, juiced and zested
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with olive oil.
Scrub, peel (if desired), and cut the potatoes into uniform wedges or chunks about 1 inch in size. This ensures even roasting.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create the herb mixture.
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss them thoroughly with the herb mixture until evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece to help them crisp up.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure golden, crispy edges.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the warm potatoes, allowing it to slightly melt from the heat.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and dill for a burst of color and flavor.
Serve the herbed Greek roasted potatoes immediately as a side dish or enjoy them as a standalone appetizer. Optional: Add an extra squeeze of lemon juice for brightness right before serving.
