These have quite a lot of garlic for garlic lovers! The garlic gets nice and mellow during the cooking process and goes quite well with the potatoes. There is also quite a lot of lemon juice but that gets absorbed and leaves the potatoes with a mellow flavor. The feta cheese is a nice touch. The potatoes don't really get crispy, however, under a covered dish, so if someone wants them crispy they should uncover them. Thanks for the recipe!

Excellent! Thought maybe they'd be too lemony but they weren't. Totally forgot the feta and didn't miss it a bit. Removed cover the last 10 minutes to get them crispy and that worked fine. House smelled heavenly.

Great Recipe - made this dish along with other for a group of friends and needless to say they went in a flash. Especially good for garlic lovers everywhere.

These weren't that good for me. I'll keep looking.

I have been making a variation of these for several year. Last week I used cooked potatoes left over from the night before. It solved all the crispy issues and the marinade really soaks in.
