Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

3. Rub the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
4. Place the potatoes directly on the oven rack and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.

7. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sliced green onion, chopped parsley, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.
8. Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
9. Slice each potato lengthwise and gently fluff the insides with a fork.
10. Spoon the vegetable mixture into the potatoes, and if desired, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top.
11. Serve immediately and enjoy your Kumpir Sebzeli!
