Crispy Greek Style Potatoes with Lemon + Feta
If there is once was a concept I rarely explored, it was potatoes! I feel as though I always overlook them not because they are carb heavy, but because they are so wonderful just simply baked or mashed that I never saw the need.
However, there are so many ways to play around with potatoes and this is dish is one of my favorites!
I’m not sure why, but I love all Greek inspired flavors. Ironically, my husband took a 23 and Me and his largely has Greek in his genetics. What’s even more ironic is that his parents are not Greek lol. There is something about the flavor profiles that I just gravitate towards, so needless to say, these Crispy Greek Potatoes with Lemon and Feta salt are my go to! Not crazy about these potatoes?

These flavors pair so seamlessly together, that they could easily complement just about any main dish. Bonus, you can also make these with traditional feta or vegan since there are a few dairy free options today.
Not familiar with soaking potatoes?
you can easily skip this step. However, soaking the potatoes enables you to remove the starch creating a better texture. Also, you can preheat your oven with the pan and throw the potatoes on to capture those crispy edges. I prefer to just throw them in on broil as it’s safer and provides the same results.
What’s great about this concept, is simply.. everything! These have the perfect texture, perfect flavor, features simply dried herbs, the flavors are tart, tangy, crispy, with notes of fresh herbs and lemon, pack so much flavor, can easily be made in bulk, you could pair them with a sauce if desired or any main dish, can be made vegan if desired, they are perfect for any season, great for entertaining, and just my newest obsession!
