Instructions
The scent of garlic sizzling in oil, the sizzle of potatoes crisping in the oven, the cool tang of feta—every element is a moment.
🔥 Roast the potatoes: Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and place on a baking sheet. Smash each potato with a glass or fork. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast at 220°C (425°F) for 25–30 minutes until crispy and golden.
🧄 Make the chili oil: In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic, shallot, and star anise. Cook until golden and fragrant. Stir in sesame seeds, chili flakes, paprika, sugar, and salt. Simmer 1 minute, then cool and strain if desired.
🧀 Blend the whipped feta: In a food processor, blend feta, yogurt, olive oil, and lemon zest until smooth and fluffy.
🌟 Assemble: Spoon whipped feta onto a serving plate. Arrange crispy smashed potatoes on top. Drizzle with warm chili oil and sprinkle extra sesame or chili flakes if desired.
