Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes:
- 2 lbs baby potatoes, halved
Seasoning:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Additional:
- 6 oz block of feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare potatoes: Place halved potatoes on a large baking dish or ovenproof skillet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
- Add feta: Nestle the block of feta cheese in the center of the dish.
- Roast: Roast for 35–40 minutes, stirring the potatoes halfway through, until golden brown and tender.
- Combine: Once baked, gently break apart the feta with a spoon and toss with the hot potatoes to create a creamy sauce.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add cherry tomatoes to roast alongside the potatoes.
- You can also use crumbled feta instead of a block—just add it during the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.
