Description
A savory and creamy dish featuring crispy roasted potatoes, soft baked feta cheese, and caramelized garlic cloves, all seasoned with herbs and olive oil for a comforting side or light main.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
- 8 oz block of feta cheese
- 1 head of garlic, cloves separated and peeled
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes and garlic cloves with olive oil, oregano, thyme, pepper, and salt until evenly coated.
- Spread the potatoes and garlic in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place the block of feta cheese in the center of the sheet, drizzling it lightly with a bit of extra olive oil.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy, and the feta is soft and slightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Gently mash the baked feta and garlic cloves together with a fork to create a creamy sauce.
- Transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving dish, top with the feta-garlic mixture, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
