Mediterranean Sliced Potatoes (V)
Ingredients:
- 3 medium gold or russet potatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- ½ cup sliced cucumbers
- ½ cup diced tomatoes (cherry or Roma work great)
- 1 cup shredded lettuce (romaine or iceberg for crunch)
- Fresh basil leaves, torn or thinly sliced
For the Lemon Aioli:
- ½ cup mayonnaise (or vegan mayo for a plant-based version)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 small garlic clove, grated
- Salt to taste
- A drizzle of olive oil
Directions:
- Roast the potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the sliced potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp on the edges.
- Make the lemon aioli: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, salt, and a drizzle of olive oil until smooth. Chill while the potatoes cook.
- Assemble the dish: Lay the roasted potato slices on a serving plate. Top with feta, parmesan, cucumbers, tomatoes, and shredded lettuce. Drizzle generously with lemon aioli and finish with fresh basil.
Jazzy Tip: Serve this warm as a light main dish or chilled like a potato salad remix. Add roasted chickpeas or grilled halloumi for extra protein. Every bite balances creamy, salty, and zesty—like a love letter from the Mediterranean coast.
