BAKED FETA MASHED POTATOES



Baked Feta Mashed Potatoes image

We took inspiration from the wildly popular baked feta pasta recipe of TikTok fame and reimagined it to create a big-batch thanksgiving side dish. The best part is no more boiling water and crowding your stovetop. Instead, we put all the ingredients together in one dish and then bake it in the oven. Cooking the dish covered helps simmer and steam the potatoes at the same time, making them smooth and fluffy when mashed. The baked feta bubbles and melts into the potatoes to lend a subtle and delicious tanginess.

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes, plus more for the dish
4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled, quartered lengthwise and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick pieces
2 cups half-and-half
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 7-ounce block feta cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped chives

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-by-2-inch (3.75-quart) casserole dish with butter.
  • Put the potatoes in the prepared casserole dish, add the half-and-half and stir to combine. Spread the potatoes in an even layer and place the block of feta in the center, on top of the potatoes. Season with 1 tablespoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and dot the butter over the potatoes. Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake until the half-and-half is simmering, the cheese is bubbling and the potatoes are cooked through and very tender when pierced with a small sharp knife, about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
  • Remove and reserve the aluminum foil. Use a potato masher to mash the ingredients in the casserole dish until well combined, smooth and fluffy. Fold in the sour cream and season with salt and pepper. Cover the mashed potatoes with the reserved foil and return to the oven until warmed through, about 10 minutes. Top with the chopped chives and a few grinds of pepper.

Time 2h15m

Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 medium russet potato, scrubbed and pricked all over
3 ounces feta, crumbled (1/2 cup)
1 tablespoon minced chives
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
