Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 pounds baby potatoes
- 8 ounces feta cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- 4 cloves garlic
- ¼ cup olive oil
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt
- Pepper
- Fresh parsley
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 400F and position a rack in the center for even roasting.
- Grab a large mixing bowl and tumble 2 pounds of baby potatoes, cutting each potato precisely in half.
- Drizzle ¼ cup olive oil over the potatoes and sprinkle 4 cloves of finely minced garlic across the surface.
- Dust 1 teaspoon dried oregano, plus salt and pepper generously over the potatoes, then toss until every surface is coated.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes across a baking sheet, ensuring they rest in a single, uncrowded layer.
- Crumble 8 ounces of feta cheese evenly across the potato landscape.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated 400F oven and roast for 30-35 minutes, watching for a golden-brown exterior and tender interior.
- Pull the pan from the oven when potatoes look crisp and cheese has softened slightly.
- Scatter freshly chopped parsley over the hot dish for a bright, herbal finish.
Notes
- Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for the best crispy exterior and creamy interior.
- Pat the potatoes completely dry before tossing with oil to ensure maximum crispiness and prevent steaming.
- Crumble the feta cheese into large chunks so some pieces get crispy while others remain soft and creamy.
- For a dairy-free version, swap feta with nutritional yeast or dairy-free cheese alternative to maintain the savory flavor profile.
