4 large potatoes
1/4 cup olive oil
200 g feta cheese
1/4 cup fresh parsley
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dried oregano
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the potatoes from sticking.
- Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly, then pierce each potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape.
- Place the potatoes on the baking sheet, drizzle them with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
- Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- While the potatoes are baking, crumble the feta cheese into small pieces and finely chop the fresh parsley.
- In a small bowl, mix the crumbled feta cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, and a dash of black pepper.
- Once the potatoes are baked, remove them from the oven and make a slit in the center of each potato.
- Carefully fill the opening of each potato with the feta mixture, ensuring the filling is evenly distributed across the potatoes.
- Return the filled potatoes to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the feta to melt and become slightly golden.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven, transfer to a serving platter, and garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.
