Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, these Greek-style potatoes are roasted to perfection. The wedges are sprinkled with salty feta, bright herbs, and a squeeze of lemon after baking, making them totally irresistible.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds medium to large yellow potatoes, such as Yukon Gold
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons crumbled feta, or to taste
  • 1 handful finely chopped fresh herbs like parsley, dill, and/or chives (optional but highly recommended)
  • Lemon wedges, to serve

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 425°F. 

  2. 2

    Prepare the potatoes: Slice the potatoes in half, then slice into 1/2-inch wedges. Add the potatoes to a large bowl and drizzle with the olive oil. Toss to coat. Sprinkle over the oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and toss once more to evenly coat all the wedges.

  3. 3

    Roast: Place the potatoes onto a baking sheet, flat surfaces down, and spread them out in a single layer, ensuring space between each wedge. Avoid overcrowding the pan, which can cause them to steam; if necessary, use 2 pans. Bake until golden brown, crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside, 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Season with more salt and pepper, if desired. Sprinkle with crumbled feta and herbs, if using, then transfer to a plate. Serve immediately with lemon wedges. Love the recipe? Leave us stars and a comment below!
