Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, combine 2 pounds peeled potatoes cut into 1-inch wedges, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
Step 2: Transfer the potatoes and marinade to a large baking dish, spreading them out in a single layer. Pour 1/2 cup water into the dish to help steam the potatoes during roasting.
Step 3: Roast the potatoes in the oven for 45 minutes, turning once halfway through, until they are golden and tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 4: Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top. Return to the oven for 5 minutes until the feta softens slightly.
Step 5: Serve warm as a flavorful side dish with a bright lemony aroma and salty feta finish.
