Ingredients
- 8-12 medium potatoes roasting potatoes
- 200 g (7oz) feta cheese crumbled
- 3 tbsp small capers or sliced black olives
- 2 large whole cloves of garlic, sliced
- 1 red onion sliced into very thin rounds
- small rosemary sprig torn
- 1 lemon cut into quarters
- Olive oil to drizzle
- Salt and pepper to season
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C (400F). Drizzle a large skillet or roasting tray with a little olive oil.
- Rinse the potatoes and then pierce them all over with the tip of a sharp knife.
- Place in a microwaveable bowl, cover with two sheets of damp paper towel and microwave on full power for 7-12 minutes. You may need to do this in batches depending on your microwave's capacity.
- Check the potatoes after 7 minutes. If you can easily pierce them with a knife, take them out now otherwise continue to cook.
- Place the potatoes in the skillet or tray and smash them using a potato masher. You want to expose some of the flesh but for the potatoes to keep their shape.
- Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Scatter the garlic and rosemary over the potatoes and nestle the lemon wedges among them.
- Cook for 10 minutes until the skin starts to colour.
- Add the crumbled feta, onion and capers and return to the oven for a further 5 minutes.
- Squeeze some of the fresh lemon juice from the roasted lemons over them and serve immediately.

Air fryer instructions
- As above, but instead of placing the potatoes in a skillet or tray, place them directly in your air fryer basket and then follow the rest of the instructions.
Notes
- Allow 2-3 medium potatoes per person for a great side dish. Overall cooking time may depend on how powerful your microwave is.
