Ingredients

  • 12 large baking potatoes
  • 1 (200g) block of feta
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 head of garlic (top cut off)
  • 1 lemon, quartered
  • 1 tbsp honey

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).
  • Wash and cube the potatoes, then add them to a baking dish.
  • Sprinkle the potatoes with thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss to coat.
  • Place the feta block in the center of the dish, surrounding it with the potatoes. Add the garlic and lemon quarters, and drizzle everything with a little more olive oil.
  • Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and crispy.
  • Once done, remove the garlic from the dish, squeeze out the softened cloves, and mash them into the potatoes.
  • Mash the baked feta and mix it with the potatoes, garlic, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Garnish with fresh basil and serve.
