Baked Feta Potatoes with Roasted Garlic and Honey

Baked feta potatoes are a comforting fusion of Mediterranean richness and rustic simplicity, but this twist introduces a magical element—roasted garlic and a touch of honey to balance the savory and salty notes. This dish borrows from the Greek tradition of baking feta with herbs but brings in crispy Yukon gold potatoes and a silky whipped feta base. Ideal for brunches, weeknight dinners, or a Mediterranean-inspired side at your next gathering, these potatoes pair wonderfully with roasted lamb, grilled halloumi, or a bright arugula citrus salad.

Step-by-Step Cooking Guide

1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Lightly oil a small baking dish or cast iron skillet.

2. Wrap the unpeeled garlic cloves in foil and roast in the oven for 25 minutes until soft and caramelized. Set aside to cool.

3. Wash and dry the Yukon gold potatoes. Slice into thick wedges, leaving the skins on for extra texture. Toss them in a bowl with 1/2 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme.

4. Spread the wedges in the baking dish and roast for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden.

5. In a small bowl, mash the feta with a fork or whisk until creamy. Mix in 1/2 tbsp olive oil and the roasted garlic (squeezed from skins). Blend until smooth.

6. Once the potatoes are baked, spoon dollops of whipped feta around them in the dish. Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with red pepper flakes (if using). Return to the oven for 5 minutes until the feta begins to melt and bubble.

7. Garnish with extra thyme and a final drizzle of olive oil. Serve immediately while warm and melty.
