Description
Roast baby potatoes to golden crisp, then nestle a block of feta in the middle as garlic cloves caramelize around them. The feta softens into a tangy pool while herbs and olive oil create an irresistibly fragrant coating.
Ingredients
- 800 g baby potatoes
- 200 g block feta cheese
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Wash and halve the potatoes if they are larger, then place them in a mixing bowl.
- Add olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to the potatoes and toss until evenly coated.
- Transfer the seasoned potatoes to a baking dish and make a well in the center.
- Place the block of feta in the well and scatter the garlic cloves around the potatoes.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the potatoes are golden and tender.
- Remove from the oven and gently crush the roasted garlic cloves over the potatoes.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh rosemary for oregano for a different flavor.
- Marinate the feta in olive oil and herbs for at least 30 minutes prior to baking to enhance flavor.
- Allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes after baking for juices to redistribute.
- Serve with crusty bread or alongside a crisp green salad.
