A delicious and healthy baked feta potato recipe featuring tender baby potatoes, juicy cherry tomatoes, and creamy baked feta cheese, seasoned with garlic and oregano. Perfect for a comforting yet nutritious meal or meal prep.

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 Seasonings

  • 1 block (7 oz/200g) feta cheese
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste (use sparingly 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 and cut the baby potatoes into halves or quarters depending on their size. In a large baking dish, combine potatoes, cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Toss everything well to ensure even coating.
  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 to perfection.
  3. Roast Until Golden: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring the potatoes halfway through to ensure even roasting. The dish is ready when the potatoes are golden and tender, tomatoes are burst, and the feta is soft with slight browning.
  4. Stir and Serve: Remove the baking dish from the oven and gently stir the softened feta into the potatoes and tomatoes until it forms a creamy, tangy sauce that coats everything. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, and serve warm or let cool for meal prep.

Notes

  • For a spicier twist, add a pinch of red pepper flakes before baking.
  • You can substitute baby potatoes with fingerlings or small Yukon Golds.
  • Use fresh oregano if available for a more vibrant flavor.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
  • This dish pairs well with a green salad or crusty bread.
