To create Baked Feta Potatoes, follow these simple and straightforward steps for guaranteed success:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the baby potatoes and cut them in half or quarters, depending on their size. Ensure they are roughly the same size for even cooking.
3. Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the halved potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix until all potatoes are well coated.
4. Arrange in a Baking Dish: Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly in a baking dish, making sure they are in a single layer.
5. Add Feta Cheese: Place the block of feta cheese in the center of the potatoes. Drizzle a little more olive oil over the feta, if desired.
6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
7. Check the Feta: The feta cheese should be soft and slightly golden. It will begin to ooze and blend with the potatoes as it cooks.
8. Toss and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and gently toss the potatoes and feta together. Adjust seasoning if needed.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley or basil for a touch of color and flavor before serving.

By following these steps, you’ll achieve a stunning dish that is sure to impress everyone at the table.
