Healthy Baked Feta Potatoes: Easy Potatoes
A delightful and creamy potato dish featuring melted feta and cherry tomatoes, perfect for an easy weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- 1 block (7 oz) feta cheese
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- to taste Salt Go easy as feta is salty
- Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it heats, wash and cut the baby potatoes into halves or quarters.
- 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.
Adding 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.
Roasting
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, stirring the potatoes once halfway through for even roasting. It’s ready when the potatoes are golden and tender, the tomatoes have burst, and the feta is soft and slightly browned.
Serving
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and stir the feta into the rest of the ingredients until it forms a creamy sauce. Top with fresh basil or parsley. Serve warm or allow to cool for meal prep.
Notes
For a crispier edge, cut the baby potatoes smaller. Can substitute goat cheese for feta or use different tomatoes if needed. This dish holds up well as leftovers and is suitable for meal prep.
