  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 2

Ingredients

Whipped Feta

  • 5 oz feta cheese (150 g)
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt (80 g)
  • 1/4 cup crème fraîche (50 g)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 pinch of salt

Roasted Potatoes

  • 1 lb baby potatoes (500 g), halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/8 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • 2 spring onions, sliced
  • 1 handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 50 g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 pinch of smoked paprika
  • 1 drizzle of olive oil

Instructions

  1. Season Potatoes: Cut the baby potatoes in half and place them in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly to ensure each potato piece is evenly coated with the spices and oil.
  2. Roast Potatoes: Arrange the seasoned potato halves in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, cook them in an air fryer at 200°C for 25 minutes for a quicker option.
  3. Prepare Whipped Feta: While the potatoes roast, combine the feta cheese, Greek yogurt, crème fraîche, and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor. Add a pinch of salt and blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Spread the whipped feta evenly on a serving dish. Arrange the roasted potatoes on top of the creamy feta layer.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the dish with sliced spring onions, chopped flat-leaf parsley, and crumbled feta cheese. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of smoked paprika for extra flavor and visual appeal. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, increase the amount of chili powder used on the potatoes.
  • If you prefer a dairy-free option, substitute the whipped feta with a vegan cream cheese blend.
  • Roasting time may vary depending on the size of the potato halves; check for tenderness with a fork before serving.
  • Prepare the whipped feta ahead and refrigerate for up to 2 days to save time.
  • Use fresh herbs for garnish to enhance brightness and aroma of the dish.
