Description
A weeknight solution that brings a taste of the Mediterranean to your dinner table with flavorful roasted potatoes and creamy whipped feta.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup feta cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil (for whipped feta)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss the baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper until they are well coated.
- Spread the potatoes evenly on a baking sheet, giving them room to roast and crisp up nicely.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender, turning once for even cooking.
- Meanwhile, in a blender, combine feta cheese, cream cheese, olive oil, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly for easier handling.
- Serve the roasted potatoes on a platter with a generous dollop of whipped feta on top.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy!
Notes
Make sure to let the potatoes cool slightly before handling to avoid hot oil splatter.
