Tips to Make Greek Roasted Potatoes

Use starchy potatoes: They get super fluffy on the inside while crisping up outside. Hello, perfect texture!
Season generously: Don’t skimp on the salt or oregano; they bring out the potato’s flavor.
Try a splash of vinegar: Add a tangy twist with some white wine vinegar before roasting. Who doesn’t love a little zest?
Experiment with fresh garlic: If you want to amp up the flavor even more, add some roasted garlic cloves for a sweet and creamy twist!

Variations

Feeling adventurous? Spice it up with some smoked paprika for a kick, or go Greek-style by adding crumbled feta in the last few minutes of roasting. Want it vegan? You’re all set—this recipe is naturally vegan-friendly. You could even toss in some halved cherry tomatoes for a burst of flavor and color. 🌟
