Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 pounds baby potatoes
- 8 ounces feta cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh oregano
- 4 cloves garlic
Seasonings and Garnishes:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Dice 2 pounds of baby potatoes into 1-inch chunks, ensuring they’re roughly the same size for even roasting.
- Toss the potato chunks with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, making sure each piece gets a nice, even coating.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them for crispy edges.
- Nestle a whole 8-ounce block of feta cheese right in the center of the potato arrangement.
- Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of dried oregano and a pinch of red pepper flakes over the potatoes and feta.
- Season everything generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring the potatoes halfway through to ensure golden, crispy surfaces.
- After removing from the oven, gently crush the feta with a fork to create a creamy sauce coating the potatoes.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving for a bright, fresh finish.
Notes
- Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold for the best texture and even roasting.
- Cut potatoes into uniform chunks to ensure they cook at the same rate.
- Crumble the feta cheese over the top just before serving for maximum freshness and flavor.
- Experiment with different herb combinations like oregano, thyme, or rosemary to personalize the dish.
