A comforting and flavorful dish combining crispy roasted potatoes, creamy baked feta, and sweet roasted garlic, finished with honey and fresh basil.

Ingredients

  • 1–2 large baking potatoes, washed and cubed
  • 7 oz block of feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 head of garlic, top sliced off
  • 1 lemon, quartered
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 390°F (200°C) and cube the potatoes. Spread them evenly in a baking dish.
  2. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the potatoes, season with thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
  3. Place the block of feta in the center of the dish, and arrange garlic and half the lemon wedges around it. Drizzle with remaining olive oil.
  4. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until potatoes are golden and crisp. Check garlic after 35 minutes and remove if browning too fast.
  5. Once slightly cooled, squeeze garlic cloves from skins and mash into a paste. Mix into the dish with juice from remaining lemon wedges and chopped basil.
  6. Drizzle honey over the top and garnish with additional fresh basil.
  7. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Soak cubed potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting for extra crispiness.
  • Add cherry tomatoes in the last 10 minutes of baking for a colorful variation.
  • Substitute goat cheese or halloumi for feta for different textures and flavors.
