Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs (900 g) potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Juice and zest of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Notes
For extra crispiness, ensure potatoes are well spaced on the baking sheet. You can also add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for variation.
