Ingredients

  • 1 pound Potatoes washed and chopped into large bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1/2 Red Onion diced
  • 2 Garlic Cloves pressed
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1/4 Cup Crumbled Feta Cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Chopped Fresh Dill
  • 1/2 Lemon sliced to garnish
  • sea salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Place the potatoes in a pan, and cover with water, then place it on the stovetop and bring it to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer for about 6-8 minutes, or until the potatoes are just fork tender.
  • Drain, then season generously with salt and pepper. Add garlic, oregano, paprika, and olive oil and gently toss to combine.
  • Place the potatoes on a large ovenproof skillet and roast for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the tops.
  • Once roasted, top them with crumbled feta cheese, red onions and fresh chopped dill.
  • Garnish with lemon slices and enjoy!

Notes

  • Chop your potatoes into similar-sized pieces, so they cook evenly.
  • Use an oven-safe skillet or pan.
  • For more Greek flavor, add some sliced, pitted kalamata olives on top.
  • Also, it's best to preheat your skillet before adding in the potatoes, so they come up to roasting temp in line with the recipe.
  • For best results, use some tongs to flip your potatoes, halfway through baking.
  • For a spicy kick, add a sprinkle of crushed chili flakes.
  • Swap feta for shredded cheddar for a different flavor profile.
  • You can also swap dill for fresh parsley.
  • Garnish with lemon slices. or squeeze lemon over the final baked potatoes
