A simple and nutritious recipe featuring baby potatoes baked with creamy feta cheese, cherry tomatoes, and aromatic herbs. This dish delivers a delightful combination of textures and flavors, perfect for a healthy side or a satisfying vegetarian main course.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

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

Dairy

  • 1 block (7 oz/200g) feta cheese

Oils & Spices

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste (go easy 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 the baby potatoes, then cut them into halves or quarters based 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 well to coat all ingredients evenly.
  2. Add the Feta: Place the block of feta cheese in the center of the baking dish, nestled among the potatoes and tomatoes. Drizzle a little extra olive oil over the top of the feta to help it soften and bake beautifully.
  3. Roast Until Golden: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Stir the potatoes once halfway through cooking to promote even roasting. The dish is ready when the potatoes are golden and tender, the cherry tomatoes have burst, and the feta is soft and slightly browned.
  4. Stir and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and gently stir the softened feta into the potatoes and tomatoes, creating a creamy, tangy sauce that coats everything. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Serve warm or allow to cool for meal prepping a healthy potato dish.

Notes

  • Adjust salt carefully since feta cheese is naturally salty.
  • Baby potatoes can be substituted with small red or Yukon gold potatoes.
  • Optional fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary can be added for extra flavor.
  • Serve as a main dish or a side for grilled meats or salads.
  • For a vegan alternative, substitute feta cheese with vegan feta or omit cheese and increase seasoning.
