Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cracked black pepper
- 0.5 Lemon, juiced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
Peel the potatoes (optional for a rustic look) and cut them into small, evenly-sized cubes, approximately 1/2-inch wide.
Rinse the diced potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the potato cubes to the skillet in an even layer. Let them cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes to form a golden crust.
Flip the potatoes and cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are evenly golden and crispy on all sides.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant but not burned.
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the home fries to a serving dish. Sprinkle the chopped parsley and crumbled feta over the top.
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy them on their own with a dollop of tzatziki or Greek yogurt for dipping.
