# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub and cut your Yukon Gold potatoes into 1-inch wedges. This consistent size ensures even cooking for your delicious Lemon Feta Potato Dish. Don't forget to line a large baking sheet for easy cleanup.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest and juice, minced garlic, oregano, rosemary, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper. This vibrant marinade is crucial for infusing big Greek flavors into your Lemon Feta Potato Dish.
03 -
Add the potato wedges to the bowl with the marinade. Toss thoroughly until every potato piece is well coated. Ensure an even layer on your baking sheet to get those perfect crispy edges that make this Lemon Feta Potato Dish so amazing.
04 -
Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet. Roast for 30 minutes, then flip them. Continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes until golden brown and tender, indicating they are done.
05 -
Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven. Gently crumble the block feta cheese over the hot potatoes. The residual heat will slightly soften the feta, creating a creamy texture and salty burst in your Lemon Feta Potato Dish.
06 -
Garnish your warm potatoes with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately with extra lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy this comforting, perfectly golden side dish that brings pure delight to your table!
# Notes:
01 -
Ensure potatoes are cut into consistent 1-inch wedges and spread in a single layer for even cooking and ultimate crispiness.
02 -
Store leftover Lemon Feta Potato Dish in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
03 -
Always use block feta, not pre-crumbled, for the best creamy texture and flavor burst in your roasted potatoes.

Serve these potatoes piping hot, garnished with fresh parsley and extra lemon wedges, alongside grilled meats or a Greek salad.
05 -
Prep and coat potatoes up to 24 hours in advance, refrigerating until ready to roast for maximum crispness.
