Preparation Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Drizzle olive oil into a large skillet or roasting tray.
Rinse the potatoes thoroughly and pierce them a few times with a fork. Microwave for 7-12 minutes until fork-tender.
Gently transfer the potatoes to the prepared skillet and smash them to expose some flesh.
Drizzle olive oil over the smashed potatoes, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary, and lemon wedges.
Roast in the oven for about 10 minutes until the edges are golden.
Remove from the oven and add feta, red onion, and capers (or olives) on top.
Roast for another 5 minutes, then squeeze fresh lemon juice over before serving.
