Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes. This recipe is forgiving. Making it ahead often makes serving easier and lets the flavors settle naturally. Reheat gently to restore crispness.

What kind of potatoes are best?

Medium-starch potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes give the best balance of creamy center and crisp edge. Russets can be used but will be fluffier.

How much feta should I use?

Use about 4 to 6 ounces of feta for a medium baking dish. Trust your taste. Scatter larger chunks and small crumbles for textural interest.

Is this dish gluten-free?

Yes, when prepared as written, the dish is naturally gluten-free. It is a safe, simple side for many dietary needs.

Can I make it spicier?

Yes. Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the dressing or a dusting of smoked paprika for warmth. Do this in small amounts and taste as you go.
