Ingredients
4–5 medium-sized potatoes, diced
200g (7 oz) feta cheese, block
5 cloves garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
-
In a large mixing bowl, toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper, ensuring the potatoes are evenly coated.
-
Spread the seasoned potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
-
Place the whole garlic cloves and block of feta cheese in the center of the baking sheet with the potatoes.
-
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the potatoes are golden and crisp, and the feta has softened and slightly browned.
-
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Smash the garlic cloves slightly with the back of a spoon and stir everything together, allowing the roasted garlic to blend with the potatoes and feta.
-
Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
Notes
- For added flavor, try using fresh rosemary or thyme.
- You can substitute the block of feta with crumbled feta, though a block offers a creamier texture.
- This dish can be made ahead by prepping the potatoes and feta but should be baked fresh for best texture.
