CRUSTY BAKED POTATOES WITH WHIPPED FETA
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
- Place the rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, and fleur de sel in the bowl of a mini food processor and pulse 10 to 12 times, until finely chopped but not puréed. Spread the mixture in a shallow bowl or plate.

Roll each potato in the salt and herb mixture and put them back on the sheet pan. Bake for 60 to 75 minutes, until tender.

BAKED SWEET POTATO WITH OLIVES, FETA, AND CHILE
Baking intensifies the sweetness of sweet potatoes and gives the bright orange flesh a kind of fluffiness-light and soft at the same time. Sweet potato is terrific combined with salty olives, creamy feta, and hot Chile pepper. Once they're baked, you can easily keep them in the fridge for days, or you can use them to make a quick, flavorful soup.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Scrub, rinse and dry the sweet potatoes. Pour a little olive oil on to your palms and rub this over the unpeeled sweet potatoes.
- Next, rub in some coarse salt. Pierce the sweet potatoes a few times on all sides using a small sharp knife, then wrap them in tin foil and bake for an hour (or a little longer, if necessary) until done. Use half of them immediately and leave the rest to cool.
- Place the sweet potato(es) on a plate and open the foil. Cut in half lengthways, then press on the outside of the halves so that the fluffy flesh bulges out slightly. Crumble the feta over the sweet potato(es), top with the olives, chile pepper and cilantro, and drizzle generously with olive oil.

NON- CREAMY POTATO BAKE WITH FETA AND OLIVES
This is an unusual but extremely tasty potato bake, my family find it a welcome change from the usual creamy bake. Rich in colour and flavour, I often also add thinly sliced sun-dried tomatoes to this, about 100g, which lends a nice tang. It comes from The Vegetarian Kitchen. NB no matter how I try, in the ingredient list, 'potatoes' is showing up as 'potato'.... its supposed to be plural! That would be one BIG potato!!
