Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Sweet potatoes
- 500 g Potatoes (waxy variety like Yukon Gold)
- 250 g Halloumi cheese
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 2 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp Fresh thyme
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 250 ml Vegetable stock
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
Peel the sweet potatoes and regular potatoes. Slice both into thin rounds, approximately 3-4 mm thick.
Slice the halloumi cheese into 0.5 cm thick slices and set aside.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Grease a baking dish with a small amount of the olive oil mixture.
Start layering the sliced sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, and halloumi in the baking dish. Alternate layers for a colorful presentation and even distribution of flavors.
Brush each layer lightly with the olive oil mixture as you build the bake.
Once all the layers are assembled, pour the vegetable stock evenly over the dish. Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.
Allow the dish to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra thyme if desired.
