Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes. I often prep the potatoes in the morning, toss them with oil and herbs, and store them covered in the fridge. Then I roast them just before dinner. It keeps the texture fresh and saves time.

What kind of feta should I use?

I prefer a sheep’s-milk or mixed-milk feta for richer flavor. If your feta is very salty, give it a quick rinse and pat dry to remove excess salt.

Can I use regular potatoes instead of baby potatoes?

You can. Cut them into evenly sized pieces so they roast evenly. Larger pieces might need 10–15 more minutes in the oven.

Is there a dairy-free alternative?

For a dairy-free version, try a sprinkle of toasted nuts and more fresh herbs. Nutritional yeast can add a cheesy note if you want that umami flavor without dairy.

How can I make the potatoes extra crispy?

Use a hot oven and a roomy baking sheet. Give the potatoes space; if they crowd, they steam. Flip them once, and finish under the broiler for a minute or two if you want extra crisp edges watch carefully.
