In a large bowl, crush the garlic cloves and mix with the olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the potato wedges and toss generously until every wedge is coated in that golden, herby oil.
Roast

Spread the wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 45 to 55 minutes, turning once halfway through, until they are golden and tender inside.

Kitchen Equipment
Safety & Storage
Cooking Temperature
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) before roasting. Use a thermometer to verify accurate temperature for even cooking and proper food safety.
Cross Contamination
Use separate cutting boards for raw potatoes and ready-to-eat feta cheese. Wash hands thoroughly between handling raw ingredients and the finishing feta topping.
Storage
Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours. Store potatoes separately from feta as the dairy topping will cause potatoes to become soggy and increase spoilage risk.
Handling
Use oven mitts when handling the hot baking sheet and serving platter. Feta cheese will melt on hot potatoes creating烫伤 risk if touched directly.
High Risk Population
Dairy content makes this dish unsuitable for those with lactose intolerance or milk allergies. Reheat leftover potatoes without the feta to make dish safe for dairy-sensitive individuals.
Pro Tips
Technique
Listen, the secret is not to crowd the pan. Those wedges need space to breathe, to get that golden crust. If they're stacked too close, they steam instead of roast, and then you have sad potatoes. Give them room on the baking sheet, and your kitchen will smell like the Aegean.
Substitution
If you cannot find proper Greek feta, a good aged kefalotyri will work, but do not — I mean DO NOT — use the pre-crumbled stuff in a plastic tub. That is not cheese, that is a tragedy. Find a good block and crumble it yourself.
Flavor Boost
When you squeeze the lemon, do it over the hot potatoes right before serving. The steam opens up the citrus oils and they dance with the olive oil — this is the moment where everything comes alive.
From the chef
Good potatoes, a generous coat of herby olive oil, and a hot oven — that is the whole philosophy behind these wedges. Tossed with garlic and dried oregano, roasted until the skin crisps and the inside goes soft and sweet, then finished with crumbled feta sizzling on top and a squeeze of fresh lemon that cuts right through the richness. If you need fifty ingredients to make a potato taste good, you are buying the wrong potato. These are proof that simple ingredients done right steal the whole table.
