Description

Deliciously crispy roasted baby potatoes infused with garlic, zesty lemon, and tangy Kalamata olives, topped with creamy feta cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds baby potatoes (red, yellow, or purple)
  • 6 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 3/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
  • 1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Instructions

  1. Cut the potatoes in half, making sure all the pieces are about the same size.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  3. Place the potatoes in a bowl, add minced garlic, drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, sprinkle on oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
  4. Add lemon slices and toss gently for even flavor distribution.
  5. Transfer the potatoes to the sheet pan, spreading them into an even layer.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes, then flip the potatoes and add Kalamata olives. Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until tender and golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and toss in half of the crumbled feta cheese. Mix gently.
  8. Garnish with the remaining feta cheese and serve warm. Enjoy!

Notes

For extra crispiness, consider parboiling the potatoes for 5-7 minutes before roasting.
