Description
Bright, creamy, and zesty baked feta potatoes that transform everyday ingredients into a savory delight.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium potatoes
- 200g feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and scrub the potatoes well, then pierce each potato several times with a fork. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
- Bake the potatoes for 45-60 minutes or until tender. Let cool slightly, cut in half, and scoop out some of the insides into a bowl.
- Crumble feta into the scooped potato, add the lemon-garlic mixture, and stir until combined. Spoon mixture back into the potato skins and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until warmed through.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
For a creamier filling, mash a bit more of the potato into the feta. Don’t over-salt the filling initially, as feta is salty.
