# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The feta transforms into these incredible creamy bites that melt into the potatoes
- Its one of those dishes that looks impressive but requires almost zero active cooking time
- The combination of tangy lemon and salty feta makes every bite addictive
02 -
- Dont skip stirring halfway through or the bottom potatoes will brown too much while the top stays undercooked
- The feta will soften but not fully melt which is exactly what you want for those creamy pockets throughout
03 -
- Cut your potatoes into roughly the same size so they roast evenly
- Use a block of feta and cut it yourself rather than buying crumbles which dry out too much in the oven
