Ingredients
Scale
2 pounds baby potatoes
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place the baby potatoes in a large pot, cover them with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until tender.
Once cooked, drain the potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes.
On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, place the potatoes. Use a fork or potato masher to gently smash each potato to about ½ inch thick.
Drizzle the smashed potatoes with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the potatoes are golden and crispy.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to melt the cheese slightly.
Once done, remove the potatoes from the oven. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired.
Let them cool slightly before serving to your guests.
