Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 500g baby potatoes, halved or quartered depending on size
Seasonings and Flavorings
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (natural)
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Main Topping
- 150g plant-based feta (plant-based), crumbled
Finishing Touch
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural), for drizzling after baking
Instructions
- Prep the potatoes: Scrub the baby potatoes clean and cut them into halves or quarters depending on their size to ensure even cooking and perfect texture.
- Season and coat: In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil (natural), minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and fresh rosemary until each piece is well coated to maximize flavor.
- Add plant-based feta (plant-based): Crumble the plant-based feta (plant-based) evenly over the potatoes and mix gently so it remains on top, ready to soften during baking.
- Bake until golden: Spread the mixture evenly on a lined baking tray and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender, golden, and the feta topping is slightly melted.
- Finish with apple cider vinegar (natural): Immediately after baking, drizzle a little apple cider vinegar (natural) over the potatoes to add a subtle brightness that balances the richness of the dish.
Notes
- Use uniform potato sizes to ensure even cooking without mushy or underdone pieces.
- Do not skip the olive oil (natural) as it is essential for crispiness and flavor.
- Add some fresh herbs on top just before serving for an extra burst of aroma.
- Let the potatoes rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
- Experiment with seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, lemon zest, smoked paprika, or cumin to customize flavor.
