Feta Roast Potatoes

This is the potato dish I've decided on to go with our Falafel Pitas tonight. I'm copying it in from RecipeZaar.com but will post what I'm doing differently after the recipe.

Feta Roast Potatoes
Recipe #72411
1 1/2 kg potatoes, washed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon thyme (or regular thyme if you can't get lemon)
220 g greek feta

Preheat your oven to 200°C. Grease a large baking dish. Cut potatoes into 1 cm thick slices. Arrange them in the baking dish. Drizzle potatoes with oil and add the thyme. Toss the potatoes to coat in oil and herb. Roast potatoes for 45 to 50 minutes or until tender. Increase temperature to 220°C. Crumble feta over potatoes and toss through. Return dish to oven for 10 minutes until feta softens.

So, RecipeZaar has a cool feature that you can change the quantity of the recipe and along with that, change it to either US or Metric measurements. I changed it to four servings and US measurements (and looked up celsius to fahrenheit conversion on Google) and basically got this (although I rounded some of the ingredient measurements):

1 pound potatoes, washed
2 teaspoons olive oil
5 teaspoons fresh lemon thyme (or regular thyme if you can't get lemon)
4 ounces greek feta

Preheat your oven to 400°. Grease a large baking dish. Cut potatoes into 1 cm thick slices. Arrange them in the baking dish. Drizzle potatoes with oil and add the thyme. Toss the potatoes to coat in oil and herb. Roast potatoes for 45 to 50 minutes or until tender. Increase temperature to 425°. Crumble feta over potatoes and toss through. Return dish to oven for 10 minutes until feta softens.

I'm using red potatoes because when I went grocery shopping last time the only russet potatoes they had were in 10 pound bags, and there was no way I'd use that many potatoes before they went bad. I'm kind of hoping these end up tasting like the Greek fries at My Big Fat Greek Restaurant because those are so, so, so yummy. I don't have fresh thyme, so I'm just going to use dried thyme and may sprinkle some lemon juice over the potatoes. One of the reviews said they had done that.

Mmmmmmm. These were yummy! I added in some dried oregano as well and really liked it. I think next time I'd skip the thyme and use some fresh oregano instead. I love having easy, new potato dishes. The feta on top was really good, too.
