Baked Feta Potatoes With Lemon Recipes

ROASTED GREEK POTATOES WITH FETA CHEESE

• Preheat oven to 450°. In a small bowl, whisk the first seven ingredients. Arrange potatoes evenly in a shallow roasting pan. Pour water mixture over top., Roast until potatoes are golden brown and tender, 40-50 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese.

CRUSTY BAKED POTATOES WITH WHIPPED FETA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
• Place the rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, and fleur de sel in the bowl of a mini food processor and pulse 10 to 12 times, until finely chopped but not puréed. Spread the mixture in a shallow bowl or plate.
• Scrub the potatoes, dry them well, and pierce them all over with the tines of a fork. Place the potatoes on the prepared sheet pan and rub them all over with olive oil. Roll each potato in the salt and herb mixture and put them back on the sheet pan. Bake for 60 to 75 minutes, until tender. Slit the top of each potato, squeeze the ends together to open the potato, and top with a generous scoop of whipped feta. Sprinkle with chives and serve hot with extra whipped feta on the side.
• Place the feta and cream cheese in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and pulse until the cheeses are mixed. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and process until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

SHEET-PAN BAKED FETA WITH BROCCOLINI, TOMATOES AND LEMON

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees with a rack set in the lower third. On a sheet pan, combine the broccolini, tomatoes, onion and lemon slices with the olive oil and toss. Add cumin and red-pepper flakes, season with salt and pepper, and toss again until evenly coated. Nestle the feta slices into the vegetables. (It's OK if they break apart a little.)
• Roast 15 to 20 minutes, stirring halfway through but leaving the feta in place, until the broccolini is charred at the tips, the stems are easily pierced with a fork and the tomato skins start to blister and break down.
• Serve over orzo or farro. Drizzle with olive oil and serve with the remaining lemon half for squeezing. Top with fresh herbs, if using.

HERBED GREEK ROASTED POTATOES WITH FETA CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Lightly oil a large baking dish.
• Stir the potatoes, garlic, olive oil, water, lemon juice, salt, and pepper together in a bowl until the potatoes are evenly coated; pour into the prepared baking dish.
• Roast in the preheated oven until the potatoes begin to brown, about 40 minutes. Season the potatoes with the oregano and mint. If the dish appears dry, pour another 1/2 cup water into the dish. Return to the oven and bake about 40 minutes more. Top with the crumbled feta cheese to serve.

BAKED-FETA POTATOES WITH LEMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Arrange potatoes and garlic cloves in a single layer in the prepared dish. Place feta in the center. Drizzle with oil and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon oregano, salt and pepper. Roast until the potatoes are tender, 25 to 35 minutes.
• When cool enough to handle, squeeze the softened garlic cloves out of their skins and toss them with the potatoes and feta, making sure the feta coats the vegetables. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice and more oil, if desired. Toss again. Serve sprinkled with the remaining 1 tablespoon oregano.

BAKED FETA MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-by-2-inch (3.75-quart) casserole dish with butter.
• Put the potatoes in the prepared casserole dish, add the half-and-half and stir to combine. Spread the potatoes in an even layer and place the block of feta in the center, on top of the potatoes. Season with 1 tablespoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and dot the butter over the potatoes. Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake until the half-and-half is simmering, the cheese is bubbling and the potatoes are cooked through and very tender when pierced with a small sharp knife, about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
• Remove and reserve the aluminum foil. Use a potato masher to mash the ingredients in the casserole dish until well combined, smooth and fluffy. Fold in the sour cream and season with salt and pepper. Cover the mashed potatoes with the reserved foil and return to the oven until warmed through, about 10 minutes. Top with the chopped chives and a few grinds of pepper.

• Cut a cross in the top of each potato. Press firmly with fingers to open up potatoes.
• Top each potato with a generous spoonful of blue cheese mixture. Garnish with chives. Serve hot or at room temperature.
