Ingredients
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Peel the potatoes and cut them into small wedges, about 1/2-inch thick.
Step 3
Place the potato wedges into a large mixing bowl and add olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Toss well to coat the potatoes evenly.
Step 4
Spread the seasoned potato wedges onto a large baking sheet or oven-safe skillet in a single layer.
Step 5
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and make four small wells or indentations in the potatoes using the back of a spoon.
Step 7
Carefully crack one egg into each well. If using feta cheese, sprinkle it over the potatoes at this stage.
Step 8
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your desired level of doneness.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top for garnish.
Step 10
Serve immediately, with an optional squeeze of fresh lemon juice for an extra burst of flavor. Enjoy!
