Description
Greek Smashed Potatoes with Feta are crispy, tangy, and perfectly comforting. Roasted with rosemary, garlic, and lemon, then finished with briny capers and creamy feta — they make the perfect Mediterranean side dish.
Ingredients
• 8–12 medium roasting potatoes
• 200g (7 oz) feta cheese, crumbled
• 3 tbsp capers or sliced black olives
• 2 large garlic cloves, sliced
• 1 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 small rosemary sprig, torn
• 1 lemon, cut into quarters
• Olive oil for drizzling
• Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Drizzle a skillet or roasting tray with olive oil.
2. Rinse and pierce potatoes. Microwave in a covered bowl for 7–12 minutes until fork-tender.
3. Place potatoes in the tray or air fryer basket. Smash gently with a masher or mug.
4. Drizzle smashed potatoes with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Scatter garlic slices, rosemary, and lemon wedges over and around the potatoes.
6. Roast for 10 minutes until edges are crispy.
7. Add crumbled feta, red onion, and capers. Roast 5 more minutes.
8. Squeeze roasted lemon over potatoes and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
– Yukon Gold or red potatoes work best for smashing.
– Microwave times may vary by power — check tenderness after 7 minutes.
– Air fryer works great at 400°F with same timing.
– Vegan feta can be used as a substitute.
– Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven or air fryer.
