Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes and Vegetables

  • 1.5 lbs (700g) baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Cheese and Seasonings

  • 1 block (7 oz/200g) feta cheese
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste (go easy 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, oregano, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Toss everything well to coat 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 beautifully.
  3. Roast Until Golden: Bake the dish for 35–40 minutes, stirring the potatoes once halfway through to ensure even roasting. The potatoes should be golden and tender, the tomatoes should burst, and the feta should become soft and slightly browned.
  4. Stir and Serve: Remove the baking dish from the oven and stir the feta into the potatoes and tomatoes until it forms a creamy, tangy sauce that coats everything evenly. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for a burst of freshness and color. Serve warm or let it cool for an easy, healthy meal prep option.

Notes

  • Be cautious with the added salt as feta cheese is naturally salty.
  • If you prefer a stronger herb flavor, you can add fresh oregano or thyme along with the dried oregano.
  • For a vegan option, substitute feta with a plant-based cheese alternative.
  • This dish pairs well with a green salad or grilled protein for a balanced meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
