Ingredients
Scale
For the Roasted Potatoes:
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold or baby potatoes, quartered
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the Whipped Feta:
- 8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)
For Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Prepare the Potatoes
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the quartered potatoes with olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic powder, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
- Spread the potatoes evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they’re in a single layer for even roasting.
Step 3: Roast the Potatoes
- Roast in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Step 4: Make the Whipped Feta
- While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the whipped feta. Combine the crumbled feta, cream cheese, olive oil, Greek yogurt, and lemon zest in a food processor.
- Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed. Add fresh dill, if using, for an herbal note.
Step 5: Serve
- Transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving platter.
- Spoon the whipped feta into a small bowl and place it alongside the potatoes or drizzle some directly over the top.
- Garnish the dish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for an extra pop of brightness.
