Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes and Vegetables

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

Cheese and Oils

  • 1 block (7 oz/200g) feta cheese
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Seasonings and Garnish

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste (go easy as feta is salty)
  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the baby potatoes and cut them into halves or quarters depending on size. In a large baking dish, combine the potatoes, halved cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Toss all ingredients together to coat evenly.
  2. 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 feta to help it soften and bake beautifully.
  3. Roast Until Golden: Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes. Stir the potatoes once halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting. The dish is ready when potatoes are golden and tender, tomatoes have burst, and feta is soft and slightly browned on top.
  4. Stir and Serve: Remove the baking dish from the oven and use a spoon to break up and stir the softened feta into the potatoes and tomatoes; it will create a creamy, tangy sauce coating all ingredients. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Serve warm or let cool for meal prep.

Notes

  • ✅ Use Waxy Potatoes – Baby potatoes, red potatoes, or fingerlings hold their shape and roast beautifully.
  • ✅ Don’t Skip the Stir – Mixing everything together after baking turns the feta into a creamy dressing.
  • ✅ Make It Your Own – Add red onions, olives, or a squeeze of lemon juice after baking for a Mediterranean twist.
