Preparation

Step 1

Place your potatoes in a medium pan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil. Boil for 10-13 minutes until the potatoes are soft and tender but not mushy. You can test this by pushing a table knife into a potato; it should slide in easily without the potato disintegrating. Drain the potatoes using a colander. Leave them in the colander for a minute to steam so that the excess moisture evaporates.
Take a large frying pan/skillet. Heat up the olive oil until hot and carefully add in the potatoes (the oil can spit a bit. Crush the potatoes slightly using the back of a fork. Fry the potatoes for about 6-8 minutes, turning every couple of minutes until you get a nice brown crust on them. Add in the onion, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper and cook for a further 3-4 minutes. Give everything a stir every minute or so to prevent it sticking.
Turn the heat off and crumble the feta over the top. Sprinkle on the lemon zest and parsley and serve.
