These baked feta potatoes are a delicious twist on the viral baked feta pasta trend. Crispy roasted potatoes are combined with baked feta cheese, fresh basil, and a hint of lemon zest for a flavorful side dish that is sure to impress.

Ingredients

Potatoes:

  • 2 large baking potatoes

Baked Feta:

  • 1 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 chili flakes
  • 1 head of garlic (top cut off)
  • 1 lemon, quartered
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/4 cup | 20g fresh basil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 200C | 390F. Wash and cube the potatoes. Par-boil for 6-8 minutes, drain, and steam dry for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Add potatoes to a baking dish with thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Roast for 30-40 minutes until golden.
  3. Add feta to the middle of the tray, squeeze lemon over it. Remove garlic, mash, and set aside. Return the dish to the oven for 15 minutes.
  4. Stir in garlic, lemon juice, and fresh basil. Drizzle with honey and more basil. Serve hot.

Notes

  • I updated this recipe in May 2025 to cook the potatoes prior to adding the feta. This edit ensures extra crispy potatoes and perfectly melty feta.
