Introduction

Baked Feta Potatoes offer a delicious and easy Mediterranean-inspired meal that combines tender baby potatoes with creamy feta cheese and bursting cherry tomatoes. This one-pan recipe is perfect for a quick dinner or a flavorful side dish.

The image shows a close-up of a baked dish in a white rectangular baking tray placed on a white marbled surface. The dish has three main layers: at the bottom, there are golden roasted potato chunks with a slightly crispy texture; the middle layer consists of roasted tomato halves with a deep red, slightly charred skin; on top, there are scattered chunks of white, creamy cheese sprinkled with green fresh herbs, likely thyme, and a light dusting of seasoning that adds a hint of orange color. The colors are warm and earthy with a mix of golden yellow, red, white, and green. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1.5 lbs (700 g) baby potatoes, halved
200 g (7 oz) block feta cheese
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 cup (150 g) cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup (35 g) pitted kalamata olives (optional)
Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Step 3: Spread the potatoes evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Place the block of feta cheese in the center, then scatter the cherry tomatoes and olives around the potatoes.
Step 4: Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and lightly golden.
Step 5: Remove from the oven and gently mash the feta with a fork, mixing it into the tomatoes and potatoes for a creamy texture.
Step 6: Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes before baking.
You can add sliced red onions or bell peppers for more color and taste.
Use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder if you prefer a stronger garlic flavor.
Swap kalamata olives for green olives or capers for a different salty bite.

Storage

Store leftover baked feta potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or microwave until heated through. The dish is best enjoyed fresh but reheats well.

How to Serve

The dish shows a white rectangular baking tray filled with layered roasted potatoes and halved cherry tomatoes, all cooked to a golden brown with a slightly crispy texture. On top of the vegetables, there are scattered thick dollops of soft, crumbly white cheese, sprinkled with finely chopped fresh green herbs. The tomatoes are roasted with some charred spots, giving a roasted, juicy look, while the potatoes have a roasted, speckled brown texture. The entire scene sits on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular potatoes instead of baby potatoes?

Yes, regular potatoes can be used, but cut them into smaller, evenly sized pieces to ensure they cook through in the same time.

Is it possible to make this recipe vegan?

To make a vegan version, replace feta cheese with a plant-based cheese alternative, and omit or substitute olives as desired.
