Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes and 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

Seasonings and Oil

  • 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). While it heats, wash and cut the baby potatoes into halves or quarters depending on size. In a large baking dish, add the potatoes, cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Toss everything to coat well.
  2. Add the Feta: Place the block of feta right in the center of the dish, nestled among the seasoned potatoes and tomatoes. Drizzle a little olive oil over the feta to help it soften and bake beautifully.
  3. Roast Until Golden: Bake for 35–40 minutes, stirring the potatoes once halfway through for even roasting. You’ll know it’s ready when the potatoes are golden and tender, the tomatoes have burst, and the feta is soft and slightly browned.
  4. Stir and Serve: Remove the baking dish from the oven and stir the feta into the rest of the ingredients until it forms a creamy, tangy sauce that coats everything. Top with fresh basil or parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve warm or allow to cool for your healthy potato meal prep.

Notes

  • Use baby potatoes for quicker cooking and tender texture.
  • Feta is salty, so adjust added salt carefully to avoid over-seasoning.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs like basil or parsley to enhance flavor and presentation.
  • For a vegan option, substitute feta cheese with a plant-based feta alternative.
  • This dish can be served warm immediately or cooled and stored for meal prep.
  • Stirring halfway through baking ensures even roasting and prevents sticking.
