A simple and healthy baked feta potato dish featuring baby potatoes, cherry tomatoes, and a block of creamy feta cheese. This flavorful Mediterranean-inspired meal is roasted to perfection with garlic, oregano, and olive oil, making it both comforting and nutritious.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes and Vegetables

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

Cheese

  • 1 block (7 oz/200g) feta cheese

Seasonings and Oils

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 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). While it heats, wash and cut the baby potatoes into halves or quarters depending on their size. This ensures even cooking and roasting.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large baking dish, add the potatoes, halved cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Toss everything well to coat the potatoes and tomatoes evenly with the seasonings and oil.
  3. Add the Feta: Place the block of feta cheese in the center of the baking dish, nestled among the seasoned potatoes and tomatoes. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top of the feta to help it soften and bake to a golden, creamy texture.
  4. Roast Until Golden: Bake the dish for 35 to 40 minutes. Halfway through cooking, stir the potatoes to promote even roasting. The dish is done when the potatoes are golden and tender, the tomatoes have burst, and the feta is soft and slightly browned on top.
  5. Stir and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and stir the feta into the roasted potatoes and tomatoes until it forms a creamy, tangy sauce, coating all the ingredients. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for added freshness and color. Serve warm or allow to cool and enjoy as a healthy meal prep option.

Notes

  • Use baby potatoes for quicker and even roasting; larger potatoes can be used if cut smaller.
  • Adjust salt carefully since feta cheese is naturally salty.
  • Fresh herbs like basil or parsley add brightness and complement the flavors.
  • This dish can be served as a side or a light vegetarian main course.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated gently before serving.
