Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven ensures crispy, golden potatoes.
  2. Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized chunks. Place them in a large bowl.
Seasoning
  1. Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes, add the minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss well until every potato is coated.
Roasting
  1. Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on a baking sheet. Make sure they’re not overcrowded for optimal browning.
  2. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
Finishing Touch
  1. Remove the potatoes, sprinkle the crumbled feta over the top, and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes until the feta is slightly caramelized.
Serving
  1. Drizzle with lemon juice before serving for that refreshing zing.

Notes

For leftovers, allow the potatoes to cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Can also freeze for long-term storage.
