I was looking for something healthy to make last weekend and consulted my Archive of Bookmarks. I found Shutterbean's Potato Feta Gyros and headed out the door to get ingredients!

Potato feta gyro ingredients

(my recipe makes 4 servings, nutritional info below!)

4 medium sized white potatoes, washed and boiled

1 tomato, sliced thinly

1/3 red onion, sliced thinly

4 flatbreads/gyros/pitas/what have you

1 tsp. crushed or minced garlic

1 tbsp. parsley, chopped finely

4 oz. crumbled feta cheese

1 tsp. crushed red pepper

Salt and pepper to taste

For the cucumber yogurt sauce (tzatziki):

1 cup greek yogurt

1/3 cucumber, grated

1 tsp. crushed or minced garlic

1 tbsp. lemon juice

1 tsp. lemon zest

Salt and pepper to taste

To start, wash, halve, and boil the potatoes until fork tender. This should take about 20 minutes or so.

Pro Tip: "Fork tender" is legit – using a knife will slice your potatoes no matter their doneness because it's sharp. Using a fork (which is duller) will ensure a correct read on potato readiness.

While the potatoes are cooking, prepare your toppings! Thinly slice the tomato and red onion. Also, make the cucumber yogurt sauce. It's super simple. Just thoroughly mix together the yogurt, cucumber, lemon juice and zest, salt, and pepper.

When the potatoes are just about done, ready a bowl with all the mix-ins (feta, parsley, garlic, crushed red pepper, salt and pepper):

When the potatoes are done, dry them off a bit and mash them into your mixture. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed.

Create an assembly area to put these gyros together.

I layered my gyros as follows: cucumber yogurt sauce, tomatoes, onion, and the potatoes.

These were really yummy. Hearty, healthy, filling, and fresh. My partner loved them, too (and he's never the first to admit how much he loves a vegetarian meal).
