Description
A delicious and healthy baked potato dish featuring feta cheese and cherry tomatoes, perfect for a delightful twist on traditional baked potatoes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs (700g) baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- 1 block (7 oz/200g) feta cheese
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and cut the baby potatoes into halves or quarters.
- In a large baking dish, combine the potatoes, cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Toss to coat.
- Place the block of feta in the center of the dish and drizzle a little olive oil over it.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, stirring the mixture halfway through, until the potatoes are golden and tender, and the tomatoes have burst.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and stir the feta into the mixture to create a creamy sauce.
- Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve warm or allow to cool for meal prep.
Notes
- Use less salt as feta cheese is already salty.
- This dish can be prepared ahead of time for meal prep.
- For a vegan version, replace feta cheese with a plant-based alternative.
