1-Preheat oven and prepare potatoes: Getting started with this recipe is as easy as turning on your oven, and I’ll walk you through each part so you feel confident in the kitchen. Begin by preheating your oven to 200C (390F) to set the stage for that golden crispiness. Wash and cube the potatoes, then par-boil them for 6-8 minutes before draining and letting them steam dry for 2-3 minutes this step is key for the perfect texture.

2-Toss with seasonings and roast: Next, toss the potatoes with the dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and olive oil in a baking dish for even flavor distribution. Drizzle the garlic with olive oil, wrap it in foil, and add it to the dish before roasting everything for 30-40 minutes until the potatoes are golden and crispy.

3-Add feta and lemon, then finish roasting: Once that’s done, remove the garlic and place the feta cheese in the center, squeeze juice from half the lemon over the dish, and pop it back in the oven for another 15 minutes.

4-Mix in garlic, basil, and final touches: After cooling the garlic, squeeze the cloves from their skin and mash them up. Gently mix the mashed garlic, juice from the remaining half of the lemon, and fresh basil into the potatoes along with the baked feta. Finally, drizzle honey over the top and sprinkle with red chili flakes before serving. This method ensures a dish that’s full of flavor and just right for any meal.
