Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet to medium heat. Add in the diced onions and peppers, and cook until onions begin to soften. Next, add in your diced potatoes and season with pepper and oregano. Cook until tender and golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. You’ll want some yummy crispy edges to your potatoes to really add some texture to this dish! Once the potatoes are cooked, add in the cherry tomatoes and half of the feta cheese, gently mix.

Top with remaining feta cheese and a sprinkle of dill. Serve immediately right from the pan–no extra serving dish needed! From stovetop to table in just about 30 minutes!
