Tips and Tricks

  • Opt for salad (baby) potatoes for their health benefits, leaving the skin on.
  • Barrel-aged feta is recommended for its rich flavor, but you can omit it for a vegan version.
  • Nonpareil capers or chopped black olives can be used based on your preference.
  • Fresh dill enhances the dish’s flavor and aids in digestion; substitute with parsley if not a fan.
