Description
This baked feta potatoes recipe combines creamy roasted potatoes with tangy feta cheese, garlic, lemon, and herbs for a simple yet flavorful side dish or light vegetarian main.
Ingredients
- 1.5kg baby potatoes, halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 200g block of feta cheese
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
- Place the halved baby potatoes on a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
- Roast the potatoes in the oven for 40–45 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
- In the last 10 minutes of roasting, make a well in the center of the tray and add the feta block. Drizzle the garlic, lemon juice, and oregano over the feta and return to the oven.
- Once the feta is warm and slightly golden, remove the tray from the oven and gently mix the feta through the potatoes.
- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- Use waxy potatoes for best texture after roasting.
- Add chili flakes for a bit of heat.
- This dish can also be served cold as a potato salad-style side.
