Healthy Baked Feta Potatoes is a delicious and simple Mediterranean-inspired dish featuring tender roasted baby potatoes, bursting cherry tomatoes, and creamy baked feta cheese. This easy one-pan recipe is perfect for a wholesome dinner or meal prep, combining savory flavors with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 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 (go easy as feta is salty)
  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it heats, wash and cut the baby potatoes into halves or quarters depending on size. In a large baking dish, combine the potatoes, halved cherry tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Toss everything thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly.
  2. Add the Feta: Place the block of feta cheese in the center of the baking dish, nestled among the potatoes and tomatoes. Drizzle a little olive oil over the feta to help it soften and bake to a beautiful golden texture.
  3. Roast Until Golden: Bake the mixture for 35–40 minutes in the preheated oven. Stir the potatoes once halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting. The dish is ready when the potatoes are tender and golden, the tomatoes have burst, and the feta is soft with slight browning on top.
  4. Stir and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and gently stir the melted feta into the potatoes and tomatoes, creating a creamy, tangy sauce that coats everything. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Serve warm as a nutritious and satisfying meal or let it cool for meal prep.

Notes

  • Use baby potatoes of similar size for even cooking.
  • Adjust salt carefully considering feta’s natural saltiness.
  • Fresh herbs like basil or parsley add brightness—feel free to substitute with your favorite herbs.
  • This dish can be prepared ahead and reheated for convenience.
  • For a creamier texture, mash some potatoes slightly after baking.
