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
- Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a baking dish, combine halved baby potatoes, cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
- Place the block of feta in the center of the dish and drizzle with a little olive oil.
- Roast for 35–40 minutes, stirring potatoes halfway through, until potatoes are tender, tomatoes burst, and feta is soft and lightly browned.
- Remove from oven and stir the feta into the vegetables to form a creamy sauce.
- Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- To prevent sticking, coat the baking dish well with olive oil and stir halfway through roasting.

- Add lemon juice before serving for a tangy finish.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days but are not ideal for freezing.
