This recipe combines Mediterranean flavors with simple ingredients for an easy, wholesome meal that’s perfect for dinner or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 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 (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 the potatoes, cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Toss everything well to coat the ingredients 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 to a creamy texture.
  3. Roast Until Golden: Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring the potatoes once halfway through to ensure even roasting. The dish is done when the potatoes are golden and tender, cherry tomatoes have burst, and the feta is soft and slightly browned on top.
  4. Stir and Serve: Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven. Stir the softened feta into the potatoes and tomatoes until it creates a creamy, tangy sauce that coats everything thoroughly. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for added color and freshness. Serve warm or let cool for meal prep.

Notes

  • Use baby potatoes of similar size to ensure even cooking.
  • Adjust salt cautiously since feta cheese is naturally salty.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of red chili flakes before baking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • This dish works well as a side or a light main course.
