Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes and Vegetables

  • 1.5 lbs (700g) baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Cheese and Seasoning

  • 1 block (7 oz/200g) feta cheese
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste (use sparingly as feta is salty)

Garnish

  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and cut the baby potatoes into halves or quarters depending on their size. In a large baking dish, combine the potatoes, cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Toss everything thoroughly to ensure the potatoes and tomatoes are well coated with the seasoning and oil.
  2. Add the Feta: Place the block of feta cheese in the center of the baking dish nestling it among the seasoned potatoes and tomatoes. Drizzle a little additional olive oil over the feta to help it soften and bake with a beautiful texture.
  3. Roast Until Golden: Bake the mixture in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Halfway through baking, stir the potatoes gently to promote even roasting. The dish is ready when the potatoes are golden and tender, the cherry tomatoes have burst, releasing their juices, and the feta cheese is soft and slightly browned on top.
  4. Stir and Serve: Remove the baking dish from the oven and stir the baked feta cheese into the potatoes and tomatoes until it forms a creamy, tangy sauce that coats everything. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for added freshness and vibrant color. Serve warm or let cool for a healthy potato meal prep option.

Notes

  • Use baby potatoes with similar sizes for even cooking.
  • If feta is very salty, reduce added salt accordingly.
  • For an extra flavor boost, add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
  • This dish pairs well with a simple green salad or grilled meats.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
