Description
Crispy roasted potatoes baked with creamy feta, garlic, and fresh herbs for a flavorful, comforting dish.
Ingredients
- 2 large baking potatoes
- 1 200g block of feta
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon red chilli flakes
- 1 head of garlic (top cut off)
- 1 lemon, halved
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/4 cup | 20g fresh basil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200C | 390F.
- Wash and cube the potatoes. Add them to a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Par-boil for 6-8 minutes, then drain and steam dry for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the potatoes to a baking dish with thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Stir to coat evenly.
- Drizzle the garlic with a little olive oil, wrap it in foil, and place in the baking dish.
- Roast the potatoes and garlic for 30-40 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Remove from oven, take out the garlic, and add the feta to the center of the tray. Squeeze over half the lemon.
- Bake for another 15 minutes.
- Once garlic has cooled, squeeze it from the skins and mash. Set aside.
- Stir the mashed garlic and juice of the remaining lemon into the potatoes along with fresh basil, mixing gently with the baked feta.
- Drizzle honey over the dish, sprinkle with red chili flakes, and top with shredded basil.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Substitute feta with goat cheese for a different flavor.
- Use sweet potatoes for a sweeter variation.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- For milder garlic flavor, use 1-2 tsp of mashed roasted garlic instead of the whole head.
