Simple Greek Potatoes Recipe (2024)

Our Mediterranean inspired Greek potatoes recipe features feta cheese, oregano, and Kalamata olives. Then we tossed everything in a tangy Greek dressing!

This particular recipe took a few attempts to find a balance that we felt would work for the blog. It’s a culmination of both my and Kim’s input.

In other words, we both worked on it to get it right. For the final version of our Greek potatoes recipe, we chose a simple preparation method.

Oven bake the potatoes, then top them with the vinaigrette, olives, onions, and feta cheese. The Greek dressing we chose was our own creation.

I shared it with you on Monday. With that being said, you don’t have to use ours if you already have a preferred brand or recipe.

Well, that’s about it for the introduction, let’s get cooking!

Greek Potatoes Recipe Instructions:

To get started, begin by dicing your potatoes and placing them into a large mixing bowl. After that add the regular olive oil, oregano, and salt.

Personally, I prefer to use pink Himalayan sea salt, but not everyone has that in their kitchens. So, use what you have, and then toss the ingredients together.

Make sure to evenly coat the taters before placing them on a baking sheet or roasting pan. Size is not an issue as long as they fit.

Now, place the potatoes into your preheated oven (350° F.) to bake for about forty (40) minutes or until they are fork tender. It’s not a bad idea to flip them about halfway through the cooking process (at the twenty ((20)) minute mark).

While they bake, go ahead and dice the onions, chop the olives, and crumble the feta cheese (if your brand isn’t already crumbled). It’s time to work on that sauce or dressing.

Instructions Continued:

At this point, you can prep your dressing. Either use your favorite store brand, use ours, or create your own.

It doesn’t matter as long as you like it, right? Besides, this is Greek-inspired, I make no claims of it being authentic.

Especially, since I’m an American with Austria-Hungarian, Czech, and Germanic roots. Yeah, I’m a real mixed bag.

Moving on, when the potatoes have cooked, transfer them to your serving platter. Now the fun part begins.

I don’t know about you, but I have fun in the kitchen. Typically, you’ll catch me dancing around, making up little songs to remind me of what ingredients go next, etc.

Layering toppings is the perfect time to do those things. So, while you add the onions, olives, cheese, and dressing, have fun with the process.

Honestly, it was probably my approach and knowledge in the kitchen that got Kim’s attention. It certainly wasn’t my, “amazing personality or stunning good looks,” lol.

Once you have the toppings done, you’re good to go. The Greek potatoes are done. Kim and I hope you enjoy the recipe and we wish you all the best 🙂

Greek Potatoes Recipe Tips:

When dicing the taters, you don’t have to be perfect with the one (1) inch cubes. The main thing is that the cubes are approximately the same size.

Otherwise, they won’t cook evenly. One other thing, the one (1) inch recommendation is for a forty (40) minute cook time. Depending on the size of the cubes, you may have to adjust the cooking time; less for smaller sizes, more for larger sizes.

It’s always important to wash the potatoes. I know they may look okay to the naked eye. However, some of the crevices may have dirt pack into them.

That’s not something you want to discover when you dig in with a fork. Always, wash and pat dry any root based vegetables before you start the recipe.

If you decide to use a homemade vinaigrette, be sure to use extra virgin olive oil. The extra virgin variety is light and made for eating , “as is.”

Regular olive oil and other cooking oils will turn your dressing into a greasy mess. We’ve all been there, take a bite a food, take a sip of a drink, and suddenly there’s a sheen of fat in the roof of your mouth.

It’s gross and the only thing I know that will dissolve it is a shot of vodka. Don’t worry about how I obtained that knowledge, just trust me.

So, in short, always use extra virgin olive oils when making dressings!
