Description

These Greek Potato Wedges are crispy, flavorful, and roasted to perfection in just 40 minutes. Coated with olive oil, garlic, oregano, paprika, and lemon juice, then topped with tangy feta cheese and fresh parsley, they make a perfect savory side or snack with a Mediterranean twist.

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds potatoes, cut into wedges

Seasoning & Marinade

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Toppings & Garnish

  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Toss the potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the potato wedges with olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Toss thoroughly until the wedges are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
  3. Arrange the wedges: Spread the seasoned potato wedges out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced evenly for proper roasting and crispiness.
  4. Roast the potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the wedges for 35 to 40 minutes. Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking to allow even browning and to develop a golden, crispy edge on all sides.
  5. Add the finishing touches: Once roasted and crispy, remove the wedges from the oven. If desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the hot wedges and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving to add a fresh, tangy flavor.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking, then dry thoroughly.
  • Use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes for best texture.
  • If you prefer less tang, reduce the lemon juice amount to half.
  • Feta cheese is optional but adds a nice salty contrast.
  • Fresh herbs like dill or thyme can be substituted for parsley for different flavor profiles.
