Tender Roasted Potatoes with Lemon & Oregano

These Greek-inspired roasted potatoes are crispy on the outside, pillowy soft on the inside, and drenched in a vibrant, zesty marinade that soaks into every golden edge. The finishing touch? A generous crumbling of salty feta that melts ever so slightly over the hot potatoes. It’s a side dish that steals the spotlight.

Equipment

Mixing bowl
Whisk
Large baking dish

Ingredients

For the Marinade

  • ¾ cup (177ml) low-sodium chicken stock
  • ½ cup (118ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup (118ml) fresh lemon juice, from about 3-4 large lemons
  • 5 cloves of garlic, grated or finely chopped
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

For the Potatoes

  • 2½ lbs (1150g) Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
  • 4 oz fresh feta cheese

Instructions

  • Make the marinade. Preheat an oven to 425°F (218°C). In a mixing bowl, whisk together ¾ cup chicken stock, ½ cup olive oil, ½ cup fresh lemon juice, 5 grated garlic cloves, 2 tsp dried oregano, 1½ tsp kosher salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper.
  • Roast the potatoes. Place the potato wedges in the baking dish, then pour the marinade on top. Toss to evenly coat, then roast for 45 minutes. Give the potatoes a stir, then cook for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy on the outside, but tender and fluffy inside. Crumble the fresh feta cheese on top, then enjoy!

Notes

  • Make-ahead: Cut and marinate the potatoes up to 4 hours in advance. Store in a fridge until ready to roast.
  • Leftovers should be cooled completely, then kept in an airtight container. Enjoy within 4 days. I do not recommend freezing.
  • To reheat, warm in a 400°F oven or air fryer for 10-15 minutes to bring back that crispy texture.
