BAKED FETA MASHED POTATOES
We took inspiration from the wildly popular baked feta pasta recipe of TikTok fame and reimagined it to create a big-batch thanksgiving side dish. The best part is no more boiling water and crowding your stovetop. Instead, we put all the ingredients together in one dish and then bake it in the oven. Cooking the dish covered helps simmer and steam the potatoes at the same time, making them smooth and fluffy when mashed. The baked feta bubbles and melts into the potatoes to lend a subtle and delicious tanginess.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-by-2-inch (3.75-quart) casserole dish with butter.
- Put the potatoes in the prepared casserole dish, add the half-and-half and stir to combine. Spread the potatoes in an even layer and place the block of feta in the center, on top of the potatoes. Season with 1 tablespoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and dot the butter over the potatoes. Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake until the half-and-half is simmering, the cheese is bubbling and the potatoes are cooked through and very tender when pierced with a small sharp knife, about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
- Remove and reserve the aluminum foil. Use a potato masher to mash the ingredients in the casserole dish until well combined, smooth and fluffy. Fold in the sour cream and season with salt and pepper. Cover the mashed potatoes with the reserved foil and return to the oven until warmed through, about 10 minutes. Top with the chopped chives and a few grinds of pepper.

NON- CREAMY POTATO BAKE WITH FETA AND OLIVES
This is an unusual but extremely tasty potato bake, my family find it a welcome change from the usual creamy bake. Rich in colour and flavour, I often also add thinly sliced sun-dried tomatoes to this, about 100g, which lends a nice tang. It comes from The Vegetarian Kitchen. NB no matter how I try, in the ingredient list, 'potatoes' is showing up as 'potato'.... its supposed to be plural! That would be one BIG potato!!

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For this recipe, it's best to use small, waxy potatoes like baby potatoes or fingerling potatoes. These hold their shape well during baking and have a creamy texture.
- Use ripe tomatoes: Ripe tomatoes will have a more intense flavor and sweetness. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and slightly soft to the touch.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When baking the potatoes, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can roast evenly. Otherwise, they may steam instead of roast.
- Season generously: Don't be afraid to season the potatoes and vegetables generously with salt and pepper. This will help to bring out their flavor.
- Add the feta cheese at the end: Feta cheese can easily become rubbery if it's overcooked. So, it's best to add it to the potatoes just before serving.
Conclusion:
This recipe for potatoes baked with tomatoes, olives, and feta is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that's perfect for any occasion. The potatoes are roasted until golden brown and tender, and the tomatoes and olives add a burst of flavor. The feta cheese adds a salty and tangy touch that takes this dish to the next level. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a side dish that everyone will love.
