- 1 block feta cheese (7 oz/200g) Feta is quite salty, so be cautious with added salt.

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and cut the baby potatoes into halves or quarters based 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.
Baking
- Place the feta block directly in the center of the dish, surrounded by the seasoned potatoes and tomatoes. Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the feta.
- Bake in the oven for 35–40 minutes, stirring the potatoes halfway through for even roasting.
- The dish is ready when the potatoes turn golden and tender, the tomatoes burst, and the feta becomes soft and slightly browned.
Serving
- Stir the feta into the other ingredients until it creates a creamy, tangy sauce. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley.
- Serve warm or cool for an easy and healthy meal prep.
Notes
These baked feta potatoes pair well with a simple green salad or grilled chicken. For added creaminess, top with Greek yogurt. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
