🍋🧄 Rustic Greek Lemon Potatoes with Roasted Garlic & Creamy Feta
These golden roasted potatoes are bursting with bright lemon flavor, aromatic herbs, and creamy feta cheese, making them the perfect Mediterranean-inspired side dish.
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, sliced into wedges
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
- 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Lemon wedges, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a large baking dish.
2. Season the Potatoes
Place the potato wedges in a large bowl. Add olive oil, garlic, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well until every piece is evenly coated with the flavorful seasoning.
3. Roast to Perfection
Spread the potatoes in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Pour the vegetable broth and fresh lemon juice around the potatoes, then sprinkle the lemon zest over the top.
Bake for 35 minutes, then carefully flip the potatoes. Continue roasting for another 20–25 minutes, until the potatoes become beautifully golden, crispy on the outside, and soft and tender inside.
4. Add the Finishing Touches
Remove the potatoes from the oven and immediately scatter the crumbled feta cheese over the top. The heat will slightly soften the cheese, creating a delicious creamy finish.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for an extra refreshing citrus kick.
