Ingredients

• 6 medium potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 units garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 unit red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 0.25 cup kalamata olives, pitted and halved
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or roasting pan with olive oil.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes if desired, then cut them into wedges or thick slices and place them into the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Pour the olive oil mixture over the potatoes, tossing well to ensure they're evenly coated.

Step 5

Add the sliced red onion and halved cherry tomatoes to the dish, mixing them with the potatoes.

Step 6

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 7

After 30 minutes, remove the foil and carefully stir the ingredients. Continue baking uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and slightly golden.

Step 8

Once the potatoes are cooked, remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled feta and kalamata olives evenly over the top.

Step 9

Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes until the feta is slightly melted and warmed.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
