  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic, oregano, black pepper, and chili flakes.
  3. Spread potatoes on the baking sheet and place feta in the center.

Notes

Best served fresh and hot. Adjust seasoning after baking since feta adds saltiness.
