Ingredients
- Base Components:
- 2–3 pounds Yukon Gold Potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch wedges
- 1/2 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 large Fresh Lemons, zested and juiced
- 6–8 ounces Feta Cheese, crumbled (100% sheep or goat’s milk, not pre-crumbled)
- 4–5 cloves Garlic, minced
- Flavor Builders:
- 1 tablespoon Dried Oregano
- 1/4 cup Chicken or Vegetable Broth
- 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
- Seasonings:
- 1.5 teaspoons Kosher Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- Finishing Touches:
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Dill, chopped (optional)
- Lemon Wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Prep Potatoes: Start your Easy Lemon Feta Potato Dish by scrubbing and cutting Yukon Gold potatoes into 1-inch wedges. Mince your garlic and zest/juice your fresh lemons. This foundational prep ensures everything is ready for a smooth cooking process. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) now.
- Make Dressing: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice and zest, minced garlic, dried oregano, kosher salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Don’t forget the chicken or vegetable broth for extra moisture. This creates the flavorful base.
- Toss Potatoes: Add the potato wedges to the bowl with the lemon-garlic mixture. Toss thoroughly to coat every potato piece evenly. Make sure to get them all coated for maximum flavor absorption. This critical step ensures a delicious Lemon Feta Potato Dish.
- Roast Potatoes: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through. They are done when tender inside and beautifully golden brown. Achieve perfect roasted potatoes this way.
- Add Feta: Once the potatoes are roasted, remove them from the oven. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh parsley over the hot potatoes. The residual heat will slightly soften the feta, enhancing the creamy texture of your Lemon Feta Potato Dish.
- Serve Warm: Gently toss everything together and transfer your vibrant Lemon Feta Potato Dish to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh dill and lemon wedges. Serve immediately as a delightful side, bringing the golden taste of Greece to your table.
Notes
Spread potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet to achieve crispy edges and prevent soggy results.
Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Red or new potatoes can be substituted for Yukon Golds, but avoid starchy russets for best texture.
Serve these vibrant potatoes warm, garnished with fresh dill and lemon wedges, as a comforting side dish.
Prep potato wedges, minced garlic, and lemon zest/juice a day ahead, keeping them separate and refrigerated.
