How to Make Authentic Greek Lemon Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 356°F (180°C).

Dice the potatoes. Try to keep the pieces the same size for even cooking.

In a bowl, mix the potatoes with olive oil, the juice of half a lemon, and a little salt (remember, feta is salty!). Let them sit for a few minutes so they soak up the flavors.
