Feta Sauce:
- 8 oz feta cheese
- 3 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
- 2–4 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Prepare the potatoes: On a baking sheet, toss the potatoes, lemon wedges, garlic cloves, and oregano with 1/4 cup olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes, or until tender.
- Roast the potatoes: Remove the charred lemon and garlic from the baking sheet. Return the pan to the oven for 20-25 minutes more, until crispy.
- Make the herb oil: Finely chop 1-2 roasted lemon wedges, including the rind, and mash the garlic into a paste. Combine with olive oil, mixed herbs, honey, salt, pepper, and chili flakes.
- Prepare the feta sauce: Blend feta, cream cheese, and lemon juice in a blender until creamy. Adjust consistency with additional lemon juice if needed.
- Assemble: Toss the roasted potatoes with herb oil and sesame seeds. Serve over a swirl of feta sauce on a large plate. Drizzle with remaining herb oil, sprinkle with paprika, chili flakes, and sea salt. Enjoy warm.
Notes
- For a tangier feta sauce, increase the amount of lemon juice.
- Feel free to customize the herb oil with your favorite herbs.
