Instructions

Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F).
Wash and cube potatoes. Par-boil in a saucepan of water for 6–8 minutes. Drain and let steam dry for 2–3 minutes.
Place potatoes in a baking dish. Toss with olive oil, thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, and chili flakes.
Roast for 30–40 minutes, until golden and crispy.
Add feta to the center of the dish. Squeeze over half a lemon. Roast for an additional 15 minutes.
Remove garlic, squeeze cloves from skins, and mash. Set aside.
Stir mashed garlic and remaining lemon juice into potatoes. Gently mix potatoes and feta together.
Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with fresh basil before serving.

Notes

Use rosemary or parsley instead of thyme/oregano for a different flavor.
Add more chili flakes or cayenne for extra spice.
Substitute feta with a vegan feta alternative for a plant-based version.
Add cherry tomatoes or bell peppers for extra veggies.
Par-boiling and steam drying potatoes ensures crispy edges.
