Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.75 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 8 cups water (for boiling)
Instructions
Bring 8 cups of water to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and add them to the boiling water. Cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant (do not let it brown).
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let it warm gently for about 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the crumbled feta cheese and stir until it melts into the cream, forming a smooth, creamy sauce.
Gently add the cooked potatoes to the skillet, tossing them to coat evenly in the sauce.
Stir in the chopped dill, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on low heat, allowing the potatoes to absorb the flavors.
Transfer the creamy feta potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with extra dill if desired. Serve warm.
