Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 pounds baby Yukon Gold or other thin-skinned yellow potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium red onions (quartered and sliced thinly)
4 medium garlic cloves (minced)
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano + another 1/2 teaspoon for topping
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 fresh red chili (an jalapeno would also work)
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
30 pitted kalamata olives
3 ounces crumbled feta cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil for drizzling
Plain yogurt and lemon wedges for topping/serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Fill a large pot about halfway with water, and add the potatoes. Set on the stove over high heat and bring to a boil. Boil for about 20 minutes or until tender. Drain potatoes and rinse with cool water. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then cut into thick slices.
  • Add the olive oil to a heavy pan set over medium heat. Cook the onions until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, chili, and oregano and cook, stirring, for another minute. Stir in the sugar, vinegar, and tomatoes. Add a couple pinches of salt and a bit of freshly ground black pepper. Taste and add additional salt if you'd like.
  • Add the potatoes to the baking dish and top with olives. Toss lightly. Pour the tomato mixture over the top. Crumble the feta over the tomatoes, drizzle with a little olive oil, and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon oregano.
  • Bake for 25 - 30 miinutes until heated through.
  • Serve hot, topping individual servings with dollops of yogurt and lemon juice as desired.

This dish is surprisingly easy to make, yet it looks and tastes like it came from a fancy restaurant. I've served it to guests several times and they've all been impressed.

Honestly, this dish was a bit underwhelming. The flavors didn't really come together as I expected.

This is my go-to recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The potatoes always turn out crispy and golden, and the tomatoes and olives add a nice pop of flavor. It's also a great way to use up leftover feta cheese.

The flavors in this dish were all over the place. Something wasn't right.

Potatoes were undercooked, even after following the recipe timing. Maybe my oven runs cooler? Had to broil them for an extra 10 minutes. Other than that the dish was tasty.

I was looking for a side dish that would complement my grilled chicken and this recipe fit the bill perfectly. The potatoes were delicious, and the combination of tomatoes, olives, and feta was just divine. I'll definitely be making this again!

First time making this recipe, it's now become one of my favorites. The potatoes were perfectly roasted and crispy on the outside, yet tender and fluffy inside. Tomatoes and olives added a burst of flavor, while feta cheese tied it all together beaut
