→ Whipped Feta
11 -
200 g feta cheese, roughly broken into large chunks
12 -
100 g cream cheese
13 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
14 -
1 teaspoon honey
# How to Prepare:
01 -
Place the diced potatoes in a large pot and pour in the chicken stock until just covered. Squeeze in juice from 2 lemons, then crumble in the stock cube. Stir and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until potatoes are just knife-tender.
02 -
Drain potatoes thoroughly and let them steam dry in the colander for 10 minutes, or until fully dry and cool enough to handle. Allowing moisture to escape ensures crisp results when roasting.
03 -
Preheat oven to 200°C. Transfer dried potatoes to a large baking tray. Toss thoroughly with olive oil, oregano, salt, black pepper, and smashed garlic cloves.
04 -
Roast potatoes for 40 to 45 minutes, turning a couple of times during roasting, until golden brown and crisp.
05 -
While potatoes roast, combine feta, cream cheese, olive oil, and honey in a food processor. Blend until silky and smooth, scraping down the sides as needed for a creamy texture.
06 -
Spread whipped feta in the base of a large shallow serving dish. Pile the hot roasted potatoes on top. Finish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Prepare whipped feta in advance and store it tightly covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
02 -
Season potatoes lightly before roasting, as both the stock and feta contribute saltiness.
03 -
Fresh parsley or dill offers a bright finishing touch, but use dill only if preferred due to its strong flavor.
04 -
This dish is suited for sharing as an appetizer or as a flavorful side.
