Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup green onions, chopped
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cup kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
• 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and scrub the russet potatoes until clean. Pat them dry with a towel.

Step 3

Pierce each potato several times with a fork, then rub with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Place the potatoes directly on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until they are tender and a fork can easily pierce through the center.

Step 5

While the potatoes are baking, prepare the toppings. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped green onions, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped kalamata olives, crumbled feta cheese, lemon juice, and dried oregano. Toss gently to mix all ingredients together.

Step 6

Once the potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.

Step 7

Cut a slit lengthwise down each potato and gently press the ends to open them up.

Step 8

Fluff the inside of each potato with a fork, creating a nice bed for the toppings.

Step 9

Top each potato with the prepared Mediterranean mixture, dividing it evenly among the potatoes.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean!
