A simple and flavorful recipe featuring roasted baby potatoes topped with creamy, baked feta cheese, aromatic herbs, and optional cherry tomatoes, creating a comforting and savory side dish perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved

Cheese

  • 1 block (8 ounces) feta cheese

Seasonings and Garnish

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: Cherry tomatoes, halved

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes and baking the feta.
  2. Prepare Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
  3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Create some space in the center and place the block of feta cheese there. If using, scatter the halved cherry tomatoes around the potatoes and feta.
  4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown, and the feta is soft and starting to melt.
  5. Mash Feta with Potatoes: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it cool slightly for a few minutes. Then, use a fork to mash the softened feta cheese and mix it together with the roasted potatoes, blending the creamy cheese with the seasoned spuds.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the mixture with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness before serving warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh oregano for dried if preferred; use about 1 tablespoon fresh oregano.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when tossing the potatoes.
  • If you do not have cherry tomatoes, omit or substitute with sliced bell peppers for added color and sweetness.
  • Make sure potatoes are spread in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
  • Letting the feta cheese cool slightly before mashing prevents it from becoming too runny.
