4 patatas grandes (the bigger, the better)
100g de queso feta (because cheese is life)
3 cucharadas de aceite de oliva (let’s keep it classy)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Ready to become a potato wizard? Just follow these simple steps, and you won’t even need to wave a magic wand.

Precalentar el horno a 200°C (400°F).
Pelar y cortar las patatas en trozos grandes. Big chunks are your friends here; you want some serious potato action.
En un tazón grande, mezclar las patatas con el aceite de oliva, orégano, sal y pimienta. Get those potatoes all nice and coated. You want them to be flavorful, not sad little spuds.
Colocar las patatas en una bandeja para hornear y hornear durante 30-35 minutos hasta que estén doradas y crujientes. It’ll smell amazing. Try not to drool.
Sacar las patatas del horno y desmenuzar el queso feta por encima. Just crumble that feta like you own the place.
Volver al horno por 5 minutos más para que el queso se derrita. This is where the magic happens.
Servir caliente y decorar con perejil fresco. Try to make it look pretty, but if it turns into a potato mess, we won’t judge.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Ah, the joys of cooking. Let’s navigate around some common pitfalls so you don’t end up calling for takeout.

Thinking you don’t need to preheat the oven—rookie mistake. Seriously, this isn’t your high school biology class. Preheating is important for crispy perfection.
Using small potato chunks. Trust me, you want those beastly chunks of potato. If they’re too small, they might turn into something resembling French fries, and we want to avoid that disaster.
Not seasoning enough. Potatoes love seasoning like your favorite Netflix series loves cliffhangers. Go big on the salt and pepper!

Alternatives & Substitutions

In a pinch? No problem! You can definitely switch things up.

Potatoes: Don’t have big ol’ potatoes? Use baby potatoes instead and just give them a quick roast. They’ll be cute and flavorful.
Feta: If feta isn’t your jam, try goat cheese or even a sprinkle of parmesan. Just keep that cheesy goodness coming.
Olive oil: Running low on olive oil? Canola or avocado oil works just fine, just don’t tell the olive oil in your pantry.

Don’t be scared to experiment a little. Cooking is about having fun, right?

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Can I use margarine instead of butter? Well, technically yes, but why hurt your soul like that?

Can I make this vegan? Absolutely! Swap the feta for some vegan cheese, and boom, you’re in business.

How do I make these potatoes extra crispy? Double cook them! Try boiling them first and then roasting. Mind-blowing, I know.

Can I add other veggies to this? Go wild! Toss in some bell peppers or onions to join the potato party. Just keep an eye on cooking times; you don’t want to burn them.

What do I serve this with? These potatoes pair well with grilled meats or a fresh salad. They pretty much fit anywhere, like your too-close-for-comfort friend at the party.

Can I make this ahead of time? You sure can, just know they taste best straight out of the oven. But hey, leftovers can still taste like dreams, so don’t stress.

Is there a way to make this spicy? Oh, for sure! Add some crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne to the potato mixture before roasting. Feel free to bring the heat.
