Delicious Greek Roast Potatoes with Lemon and Feta is a simple yet flavorful side dish featuring tender baby potatoes roasted to golden perfection with fragrant garlic, zesty lemon juice, and aromatic oregano, topped with creamy crumbled feta and fresh parsley for an authentic Mediterranean taste.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes and Seasoning

  • 2 lbs baby potatoes (halved)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 lemon (juice of 1 large lemon)
  • 1 lemon (zest of 1 lemon)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Toppings

  • 0.5 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
  • 2 tablespoons parsley (fresh, chopped)
  • 1 lemon (wedges, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes.
  2. Prepare Potatoes: Halve the baby potatoes and place them in a large bowl. Toss them with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  3. Season: Season the potatoes generously with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well to distribute the seasoning.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet to allow even roasting.
  5. Roast Potatoes: Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until tender and golden brown. Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking to achieve even crispiness.
  6. Add Toppings: Remove the potatoes from the oven and immediately sprinkle them with crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh parsley for added flavor.
  7. Serve: Serve the roasted potatoes hot, accompanied by lemon wedges for an extra burst of fresh citrus flavor.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, soak the halved potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking and dry thoroughly.
  • Use fresh oregano if available for a brighter flavor.
  • You can substitute baby potatoes with small Yukon Gold or red potatoes.
  • This dish pairs perfectly with grilled meats or a fresh Greek salad.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic and lemon according to personal taste preferences.
