Whipped Feta with Crispy Potatoes is a rich, tangy, and satisfying appetizer or side dish that pairs ultra-creamy whipped feta with golden, crispy smashed potatoes. It’s easy to prepare, naturally gluten-free, and perfect for entertaining or a cozy, indulgent bite at home.

Ingredients

  • 6 oz feta cheese (block-style, not crumbled)
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, plus more for roasting
  • 1 clove garlic (optional), minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes or fingerling potatoes
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (dill, parsley, or chives), for garnish

Instructions

  1. Boil baby potatoes in salted water until just fork-tender, about 10–12 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
  2. While potatoes cook, blend feta, Greek yogurt (or cream cheese), olive oil, garlic (if using), and lemon juice in a food processor until smooth and creamy.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Gently smash the potatoes using the bottom of a glass or mug.
  5. Place smashed potatoes on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden brown.
  7. Spread the whipped feta onto a serving platter or shallow dish.
  8. Top with hot crispy potatoes. Garnish with fresh herbs, extra olive oil, or lemon zest if desired.
  9. Serve immediately while potatoes are hot and crispy.

Notes

  • Use a high-quality block of feta for the best texture and flavor.
  • Air fry the smashed potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes as a quicker alternative.
  • Make the whipped feta ahead—flavors improve as it rests.
  • Store whipped feta and potatoes separately to maintain crispiness.
  • Add chili oil, olives, or roasted chickpeas for a flavor boost.
