Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds potatoes Yukon Gold or Russet, cut into cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for roasting
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary fresh, chopped, or dried
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 4 ounces feta cheese preferably block, for whipping
  • 1 tablespoon milk or cream, optional for fluffiness

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Hand mixer or whisk
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it. Toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they aren't crowded. Roast in the oven for about 30-35 minutes, turning halfway through, until they’re golden brown and crispy around the edges.
  3. While the potatoes are baking, crumble the feta cheese into a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer or whisk to whip the feta for about 2-3 minutes until it becomes light and fluffy. Add a splash of milk if needed to loosen the texture.
  4. Once the potatoes are done and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly so they don’t burn your fingers. Transfer to a serving plate or bowl.
  5. Using a spoon or spatula, dollop generous amounts of the whipped feta over the roasted potatoes, spreading it lightly if desired, so each potato piece gets some creaminess.
  6. Optionally, sprinkle extra rosemary or cracked black pepper on top for added flavor. Serve immediately for the best contrast of crispy potatoes and creamy feta.

Notes

For an extra crunch, broil the potatoes for 2-3 minutes after roasting. You can also experiment with adding lemon zest or fresh herbs to the whipped feta for more flavor variation.
