- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp salt

Cheese & Garnish:

- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, dill, or mint
- Optional: zest of ½ lemon or drizzle of lemon juice

Instructions
- Preheat Oven & Prep Potatoes:Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash, peel (optional), and cut potatoes into uniform wedges or chunks.
- Toss with Olive Oil & Seasonings:In a large mixing bowl, combine potatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and optional spices. Toss until evenly coated.
- Roast Potatoes:Spread potatoes in a single layer on a lined baking sheet. Roast 25–30 minutes, turning halfway, until golden-brown and crispy on the edges and tender inside.
- Add Feta & Herbs:Sprinkle crumbled feta over the potatoes during the last 5 minutes of roasting. Add fresh herbs just before serving.
- Optional Finishing Touches:Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, or zest. Add toasted seeds or nuts for texture and presentation.
- Serve:Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy warm alongside grilled meats, fish, or as part of a Mediterranean spread.
Notes
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–4 days. Reheat gently in the oven to maintain crispiness.
- Make-Ahead: Cut and toss potatoes with oil and seasonings ahead of time; add feta and herbs before serving.
- Vegan Option: Skip feta or use plant-based cheese alternatives.
- Texture Tips: Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Flavor Variations: Greek-style with oregano and lemon, spicy with paprika or harissa, or herb-focused with fresh dill or mint.
- Serving Ideas: Perfect alongside grilled proteins, in grain bowls, or as part of a mezze platter.
