Instructions
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly spray an 11-inch baking dish or a cast-iron skillet with oil and set aside.
Put the potato wedges in a large bowl. Add the minced garlic, 1/3 cup olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried marjoram, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (if using), 1 tablespoon lemon zest (if using), and 1 1/2 tablespoons capers.
Toss the potatoes and seasoning until the wedges are evenly and thoroughly coated. Adjust salt if desired, keeping in mind the feta will add additional saltiness.
Transfer the coated potato wedges to the prepared baking dish or skillet. Arrange them in a single layer, packed fairly tightly but not stacking them on top of one another.
Bake for 30–40 minutes, until a golden-brown crust has formed on the exposed surfaces.
Use a spatula or tongs to stir and turn the wedges so any less-browned sides are exposed. Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 20 minutes, until the potatoes are well browned.
Remove the dish from the oven and evenly top the potatoes with the thinly sliced 1/4 red onion, 1/3 cup kalamata olives, and 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese. Return to the oven and bake 10–15 minutes more, until the potatoes are fork-tender and the toppings are warmed.
Remove from the oven. Top with the 6–8 piquante red peppers, chopped green onion, and chopped chives. Add extra crumbled feta if desired.
Garnish with fresh oregano and marjoram and serve immediately.

Notes
*I used pre-washed white and red potatoes, I sliced them into quarters and didn't remove the skin since the potatoes are organic.
**You can also serve these potatoes without all the toppings.
