These potatoes will be your new favorite side dish. They are crispy on the outside, soft and lemony on the inside. This is what potato dreams are made of and I highly recommend you give this recipe a try.

Equipment

Ingredients

5 yellow potatoes
⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
1.5 tablespoons dry oregano
6 cloves garlic unpeeled
1.5 lemon juiced
1 tablespoon dijon mustard optional
2 teaspoon salt to taste
1 tablespoon feta cubed or crumbled, for garnish
fresh oregano leaves for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400F (200C). I have also baked these at 425F (220C) and both temperatures work.
Peel the potatoes and reserve the skins for making my crispy potato skins recipe which is on the blog and linked in my notes below as well. Cut each potato in half and cut each half into 3 wedges.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the potatoes and boil for 6 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a baking dish. Add the olive oil, dry oregano, unpeeled garlic cloves, lemon juice, mustard, if using, and season with salt. Give everything a gentle mix. You can let the potatoes marinate for 1 to 2 hours or bake them right away.
Bake for 60 to 75 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Mine took exactly 75 minutes.
Top the potatoes with feta and fresh oregano. Enjoy!
