Roasted Potatoes with Baked Feta and Garlic

Roasted Potatoes with Baked Feta and Garlic, this dish is perfect as a side or a light main. Serve warm and savor the blend of crispy, creamy, and herby flavors!

Ingredients for Roasted Potatoes with Baked Feta and Garlic:

• 1-2 large baking potatoes washed and cubed
• 7 oz 200 g block of feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 head of garlic top sliced off
• 1 lemon quartered
• 1 tablespoon honey
• ¼ cup 20 g fresh basil, chopped

Instructions for Roasted Potatoes with Baked Feta and Garlic:

Preheat and Prepare:

• Preheat your oven to 390°F (200°C). Wash the potatoes thoroughly, cut them into cubes, and place them in a baking dish.

Season the Potatoes:

• Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the potatoes. Sprinkle with dried thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.

Add the Feta and Garlic:

• Place the block of feta in the center of the baking dish. For extra flavor, press one side of the feta into the seasonings on the potatoes before flipping it over. Add the garlic head and half the lemon wedges to the dish. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over everything.

Bake to Perfection:

• Roast in the oven for 45-55 minutes until the potatoes are crispy and golden. Keep an eye on the garlic—if it starts to brown too much, remove it after about 35 minutes.

Mash and Mix:

• Once the garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze the softened cloves out of their skins. Use a knife to mash the roasted garlic into a paste. Add the garlic paste, juice from the remaining lemon wedges, and chopped basil to the baking dish. Gently mix the roasted potatoes and feta to combine the flavors.

Finishing Touch:

• Drizzle the honey over the top and sprinkle with additional fresh basil for a pop of color and sweetness.

Serve and Enjoy
