Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs 1.5 lbs (700g) baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 1 block 1 block (7 oz/200g) feta cheese
  • 1.5 cups 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 tablespoons 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste Go easy as feta is salty.
  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and cut the baby potatoes into halves or quarters depending on size.
  3. In a large baking dish, add the potatoes, cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Toss everything to coat well.
Adding Feta
  1. Place the block of feta right in the center of the dish, nestled among the seasoned potatoes and tomatoes.
  2. Drizzle a little olive oil over the feta to help it soften and bake beautifully.
Roasting
  1. Bake for 35–40 minutes, stirring the potatoes once halfway through for even roasting.
  2. You'll know it's ready when the potatoes are golden and tender, the tomatoes have burst, and the feta is soft and slightly browned.
Serving
  1. Remove the baking dish from the oven and stir the feta into the rest of the ingredients until it forms a creamy, tangy sauce that coats everything.
  2. Top with fresh basil or parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve warm or allow to cool for your healthy potato meal prep.

Notes

Make sure to cut the potatoes into similar sizes for even cooking. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste but remember that feta cheese adds saltiness. For added flavor, toss in some bell peppers or olives with the potatoes and tomatoes.
