Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cracked black pepper
- 0.5 Lemon, juiced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes (optional for a rustic look) and cut them into small, evenly-sized cubes, approximately 1/2-inch wide.
Step 2
Rinse the diced potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 4
Add the potato cubes to the skillet in an even layer. Let them cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes to form a golden crust.
Step 5
Flip the potatoes and cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are evenly golden and crispy on all sides.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the minced garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant but not burned.
Step 7
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the home fries to a serving dish. Sprinkle the chopped parsley and crumbled feta over the top.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy them on their own with a dollop of tzatziki or Greek yogurt for dipping.
