Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 1.5 pounds (700g) baby potatoes, halved

Seasoning

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Toppings and Garnish

  • 6 ounces (170g) feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  2. Prepare the potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
  3. Bake the potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until the potatoes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. Add the feta cheese: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and evenly sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the potatoes. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes until the feta softens slightly without melting completely.
  5. Finish and serve: Transfer the baked potatoes to a serving dish. Drizzle them with fresh lemon juice and garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a bright, flavorful finish before serving.

Notes

  • Use baby potatoes for quicker, even cooking and a nice texture.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic powder and oregano to your taste preference.
  • For a spicier kick, sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes before baking.
  • Serve these potatoes as a side dish with grilled meats, fish, or a fresh salad.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated in the oven for best texture.
