  • 3 tbsp (3 tbsp) olive oil
  • 1 tsp (1 tsp) paprika
  • ½ tsp (½ tsp) ground coriander
  • ¼ tsp (¼ tsp) ground cumin
  • ½ tsp (½ tsp) salt
  • ¼ tsp (¼ tsp) ground black pepper

Whipped Feta

  • 100 g (⅔ cups) Persian or smooth feta Room temperature. goats cheese works great too!
  • 3-4 tbsp (3-4 tbsp) sour cream Room temperature. Cream cheese can be substituted for thick & creamier flavour.
  • 1-2 tsp (1-2 tsp) lemon juice as desired
  • 1 clove (1 clove) garlic minced

Garnish

  • ¼ cup (0.26 cup) red onion finely diced
  • 1-2 tbsp (1-2 tbsp) fresh parsley finely chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 400°F and line 1-2 trays with baking paper and set aside.
  • Place the quartered potatoes in salted water and boil for about 5-7 minutes until they just begin to soften.
  • Drain water before shaking the potatoes from side to side in the saucepan to rough up the edges. This will help them create a rougher texture that the seasoned oil can cling onto and go crispy.
  • With the potatoes remaining in the saucepan, combine with the olive oil, paprika, coriander, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat.
  • Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the tray/s. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.
  • While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the whipped feta. In a medium bowl, combine feta, sour cream, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Beat with a whisk or hand mixer until smooth. A food processor or blender can also be used.
  • Spread the feta mixture on a plate, and scatter the potatoes on top.
  • Sprinkle the chopped parsley and diced red onion over the dish. Serve a immediately, while still hot and crispy.
