Indulge in crispy smashed potatoes topped with creamy feta and fresh herbs, creating a delightful side dish that will elevate any meal.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb baby potatoes
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley or dill, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and dry the baby potatoes.
  2. Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
  3. Gently smash each potato using a glass or measuring cup until flattened but still intact.
  4. Arrange the smashed potatoes on a lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper; toss to coat evenly.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with crumbled feta and fresh herbs, then return briefly to melt the cheese.

Notes

  • For added flavor, try using roasted garlic instead of raw.
  • Experiment with herbs like rosemary or thyme for a different twist.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days; reheat in the oven at 350°F.
