Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 4 medium potatoes, washed and cut into chunks

Cheese

  • 150 grams feta cheese, crumbled

Oils and Fats

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Herbs and Seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Cut the potatoes into even chunks to ensure uniform cooking. Toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and the dried herbs until well coated.
  2. Roast the Potatoes: Spread the potatoes out on a baking tray in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they start to become tender and golden brown.
  3. Add the Feta Cheese: Remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled feta evenly over them. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the feta is golden and slightly melted.
  4. Serve: Once the feta is golden and the potatoes are cooked through, remove from the oven. Allow to cool slightly before serving as a flavorful and healthy side dish.

Notes

  • Use firm potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for best results.
  • Fresh herbs can substitute dried herbs for a more aromatic flavor.
  • For a vegan option, replace feta with a plant-based cheese alternative.
  • Adjust seasoning according to your taste preference.
