Why You’ll Love These Baked Feta Potatoes

• One dish. Zero stress. Everything roasts together, and cleanup is blissfully minimal.
• Healthy comfort food. Yes, those two things can exist in the same sentence.
• Perfect for picky eaters. Roasted potatoes and melty feta? Even the skeptics won’t resist.
• Meal-prep friendly. These potatoes reheat beautifully for lunches, bowls, or quick sides.
• Massive flavor, tiny effort. The kind of energy we all need on a weeknight.

When life gets hectic—and let’s be honest, when doesn’t it?—having a go-to recipe like Baked Feta Potatoes is a sanity saver.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1.5 lbs (700g) baby potatoes, halved or quartered
• 1 block (7 oz/200g) feta cheese
• 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• Salt to taste (remember, feta brings plenty of saltiness)
• Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional, but lovely)

How to Make These Baked Feta Potatoes

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Go ahead and preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it warms, wash and cut your baby potatoes. Halves or quarters—you choose. No peeling required because we are making life easier, not harder.

Grab a large baking dish and toss in the potatoes, cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, black pepper, and a tiny pinch of salt. Mix everything so the potatoes are fully coated in that garlicky herb goodness. Already smells delicious, right?

Step 2: Add the Feta

Place the feta block directly in the center of the dish. No need to cube it or crumble it—trust the process. Drizzle just a little more olive oil on top so it bakes up soft and golden.

Step 3: Roast Until Golden

Bake for 35–40 minutes, giving the potatoes a stir halfway through. That mid-roast stir helps the edges get beautifully crispy.

You’ll know it’s ready when:

• The potatoes are golden and fork-tender
• The tomatoes look like they had a spa day and burst open
• The feta turns soft and lightly browned on top

Step 4: Stir and Serve

Carefully take the baking dish out of the oven and stir the softened feta into the potatoes and tomatoes. Watch as everything melts into a creamy, tangy sauce. This is the moment you’ll want to dive in—but try to resist just long enough to sprinkle fresh basil or parsley on top.

Serve warm for dinner or let it cool for your healthy potato meal prep. Either way, you’re winning.

Tips for Perfect Healthy Baked Feta Potatoes

• Use baby potatoes for best texture. They roast quickly and evenly—and no peeling means more time for you.
• If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of warm water or broth until you reach your ideal creaminess.
• Want extra flavor? A squeeze of lemon right after baking adds brightness.
• Add color and veggies. Bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach fit right in.
• Crispier potatoes? Spread everything out on a wider dish so the potatoes have room to brown.

True story: This recipe once saved my sanity on a week full of errands, appointments, and “Mom, what’s for dinner?” on repeat. I tossed everything in the dish, walked away, and came back to a meal that tasted like it took effort—and that, my friend, is my favorite kind of cooking victory.
