How to Make Greek Style Lemon Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter.
Wash and thinly slice 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes (about 1/4 inch thick).
In a large bowl, combine the sliced potatoes with 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon salt. Toss gently to coat.
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
Pour 1 cup of boiling water over the potatoes. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, or until most of the water has evaporated and the potatoes are tender.
Crumble 4 ounces of feta cheese over the potatoes. Continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and the feta is melted and slightly browned.
