Ingredients

• 500 grams small red potatoes
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium zucchini
• 1 small red onion
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 100 grams baby spinach
• 1 medium lemon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 50 grams feta cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and scrub the potatoes. Slice them into thin rounds, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

Core and dice the red bell pepper. Slice the zucchini into half-moons. Finely chop the red onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

In a large non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and sauté them for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to become golden brown and tender.

Step 5

Add the chopped red onion and minced garlic to the skillet, and sauté for an additional 2 minutes until the onions soften.

Step 6

Add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet, and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Stir in the baby spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes, just until wilted.

Step 8

Zest the lemon and add the zest to the skillet, along with the juice of half the lemon, dried oregano, and remaining olive oil. Toss everything to combine well.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Remove from heat and sprinkle with feta cheese if using.

Step 11

Serve hot as a main dish or a side, garnished with additional lemon wedges if desired.
