Mediterranean Potatoes with Lemon, Herbs & Feta

Mediterranean Potatoes roasted up perfectly in the oven then topped with a super flavorful mixture of feta cheese, fresh herbs and plenty of lemon.

These Mediterranean Potatoes combine two of my favorite things: potatoes and feta cheese! Oh, and lemons! Plus lemon and fresh herbs for loads of delicious flavor. The best part is that these are easy enough to make any night of the week yet and are tasty/impressive enough to serve guests for a fun night in. They go especially well with other Mediterranean-style dishes like couscous tabbouleh. Let’s make them!

How to make mediterranean potatoes

After you’ve washed and scrubbed the potatoes, dry thoroughly. I like to lay the potatoes out on a clean dish towel and pat them all dry. Cut the potatoes into 1 inch chunks.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and add the potatoes. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt + pepper, minced garlic and mix to coat evenly.

Roast the potatoes in a 400F oven for 30-40 minutes, until tender and golden brown.

While the potatoes roast, make the lemon, herby feta topping. In a small bowl add the chopped fresh oregano, parsley, mint and lemon zest. Mix to combine, then crumble in the feta and mix again.

Once the potatoes come out of the oven, squeeze lemon juice over evenly. Then top with the feta and herb mixture. I like to top with some freshly cracked black pepper for extra flavor/zing.
