Whipped feta with roasted potatoes – easy, delicious summer food.
Creamy whipped feta with crisp potatoes. This dish is pure indulgence in the summer sun. Here you get a silky-smooth whipped feta made with feta, Greek yogurt, fresh garlic and lemon – blitzed in a mini chopper or blender until it is light, airy and smooth. On top go warm, crisp potatoes, roasted until golden in the oven or air fryer – and it all comes together in a lovely dish that is both easy and genuinely delicious.
The creamy, salty feta is balanced by the slightly crisp potatoes and the fresh lift from lemon and garlic – and it works incredibly well as a side for anything from the barbecue.
Potato salad with a twist – perfect for the barbecue
You could call this version a modern potato salad. It goes perfectly with both white and red meat, and it is really good with grilled chicken, lamb, a juicy steak or a piece of salmon, for example. You can serve it as part of a larger barbecue spread or simply enjoy it as a dish in its own right with a little bread on the side.
This is the kind of side dish that looks the part and feels light and ready for summer – and one your guests will hopefully ask you for the recipe for.
Perfect for a tapas spread
This whipped feta with crisp potatoes isn’t just brilliant as a barbecue side – it also works really well as part of a tapas spread or a buffet of small plates. It adds a nice twist and a little more substance than, say, a classic dip or spread, and the warm, crisp potatoes make it that bit more special.
Whipped feta with roasted potatoes
Ingredients
- 650 g small potatoes, scrubbed
- 1 handful parsley, finely chopped
- Olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- Dried herbs or spices (optional)
Whipped feta
- 250 g feta
- 200 g Greek yogurt
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/2 lemon, finely grated zest and juice
- Freshly ground pepper and a pinch of salt
Method
- Halve the potatoes or cut them into bite-sized pieces, and toss them with a couple of tablespoons of oil, salt and freshly ground pepper.If you like, sprinkle them with a little dried herb too – oregano, thyme or similar.
- Roast the potatoes in the oven at 200°C for about 30 minutes, or in an air fryer at 180°C for about 30 minutes – or until golden.Then leave them to cool slightly.
- Put the feta in a mini chopper together with a couple of tablespoons of the yogurt, the garlic, lemon zest and juice. Blend until you have a smooth, even cream – add a couple more tablespoons of yogurt if needed.
- Season with freshly ground pepper and a pinch of salt, and add the rest of the yogurt. Blend briefly – not for too long, or the whipped feta can turn thin.You can also stir the last of the yogurt in by hand instead.
- Spread the whipped feta on a plate and top with the roasted potatoes, parsley, a drizzle of olive oil and freshly ground pepper.Serve straight away.
