Ingredients

2 large baking potatoes

200g block of feta

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp salt

1 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp red chilli flakes

1 head of garlic, top cut off

1 lemon, quartered

1 tbsp honey

1/4 cup (20g) fresh basil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F).
  2. Wash and cube the potatoes. Place in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Par-boil for 6–8 minutes, then drain and steam dry for 2–3 minutes.
  3. Transfer potatoes to a baking dish. Add thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Stir to coat evenly.
  4. Roast for 30–40 minutes until golden, crispy, and almost cooked through.
  5. Place the feta block in the center of the tray, dipping one side in the seasonings before flipping. Squeeze over half the lemon juice. Add the garlic head to the tray.
  6. Roast for another 15 minutes.
  7. Once slightly cooled, remove garlic from its skin and mash. Stir garlic, remaining lemon juice, and fresh basil into the potatoes and feta.
  8. Drizzle with honey, garnish with extra basil, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra spice, add more red chilli flakes or cayenne pepper.
  • Swap basil with rosemary or parsley for a different flavor.
  • Use goat cheese or halloumi instead of feta for variety.
  • Add cherry tomatoes or bell peppers for extra color and sweetness.
  • To make vegan, use dairy-free feta and swap honey for maple syrup.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven at 180°C (350°F).
