Notes

For extra crispiness, bake potatoes an additional 5–10 minutes before adding feta.
Block feta melts and tastes better than pre-crumbled feta.
Add cherry tomatoes, olives, or spinach for a Mediterranean twist.
Use sweet potatoes for a sweeter, richer variation.
Best served immediately, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven to maintain crisp texture.
