Ingredients

  • 2 lb potatoes washed and cut in half or quarters, about 2 inches thick
  • 1 lemon washed and sliced thin
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Prep the potatoes and lemons and place in a bowl, add olive oil and all the seasonings and mix. Don't mix too carefully - you want some of the lemon juice to release from the lemon.

Notes

 

Ingredient notes & substitutions

  • Olive oil adds loads of flavor. You can switch it for another type of oil, preferably neutral in flavor, but the taste won't be the same.
  • Potatoes: I used small red potatoes that I cut in half. You can use any size, just cut them accordingly - the pieces should be less than 2 inches thick.
  • Lemon: I recommend using organic lemon since you will keep the skin on
  • Feta cheese can be swapped for a Feta-style white cheese
 

Tips & tricks

  • Store leftover Greek potatoes in the fridge in an air tight container for up to 4 days
  • Greek potatoes do not freeze well
  • Reheat leftovers in the microwave or air fryer * in 1 minute increments
 
Nutritional information assumes half the olive oil is actually consumed.
