Frequently Asked Questions
What potato works best?
Yukon Gold is ideal — creamy inside, crispy outside. Russets work but are fluffier. Avoid waxy red potatoes as they don't crisp as well.
Can I add more vegetables?
Cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, or red onion wedges roast beautifully alongside the potatoes.
Should I add feta before or after roasting?
After — adding feta before roasting would burn it. The residual heat from the hot potatoes softens it just enough.
