Ingredients

  • Potatoes: 1.5 lbs (about 6 medium potatoes) – Provides the hearty base of the dish, with a crispy exterior and soft interior when roasted.
  • Feta Cheese: 4 oz – Adds a creamy, tangy richness that pairs beautifully with the roasted potatoes.
  • Garlic: 4 cloves – Infuses the dish with its savory, aromatic flavor.
  • Olive Oil: 2 tbsp – Helps the potatoes get golden and crispy while roasting.
  • Salt: To taste – Enhances the natural flavors of the potatoes and garlic.
  • Pepper: To taste – Adds a bit of heat and depth to the dish.
  • Fresh Herbs (optional): 1-2 tbsp of rosemary, thyme, or parsley – For a fragrant, herbal note that complements the dish.

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Combine Ingredients: Cut the potatoes into even chunks and place them in a mixing bowl. Add olive oil, salt, pepper, and your choice of fresh herbs. Toss to coat the potatoes evenly.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Place the block of feta cheese in the center of the baking sheet, nestled between the potatoes. Add the garlic cloves around the potatoes.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. The feta should be soft and slightly browned.
  6. Finishing Touches: Once roasted, remove from the oven and sprinkle with additional fresh herbs if desired.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately as a side dish to your favorite meal.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding sun-dried tomatoes or olives to the potatoes before roasting.
  • Try adding a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving to brighten up the flavors.
  • Make sure to stir the potatoes halfway through roasting for even crispiness.
