This Baked Feta Potatoes with Lemon recipe offers a flavorful and easy side dish combining tender roasted potatoes with creamy, slightly golden feta cheese, brightened with fresh lemon zest and juice, and aromatic thyme.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 4 Medium Potatoes, diced

Cheese

  • 200g Feta Cheese, crumbled

Seasonings and Oil

  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 Lemon, zested and juiced
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh Thyme
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for roasting the potatoes evenly.
  2. Prepare Potato Mixture: In a baking dish, combine the diced potatoes with olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, fresh thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss everything until the potatoes are thoroughly coated with the seasoning and oil for a balanced flavor.
  3. Add Feta Cheese: Crumble the feta cheese evenly over the coated potatoes in the baking dish, allowing it to melt and brown slightly during baking.
  4. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and the feta cheese edges develop a light golden color.
  5. Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm as a delicious side dish that complements a variety of main meals.

Notes

  • You can use Yukon gold or red potatoes for a creamier texture.
  • Fresh thyme can be substituted with dried thyme if needed, reducing the amount to 1 teaspoon.
  • Adjust salt according to the saltiness of the feta cheese.
  • For a zestier flavor, add extra lemon juice right before serving.
  • This dish pairs well with grilled meats or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
