Shredded Potato Casserole With Feta Cheese Recipe
Shredded potatoes intertwined with grated feta cheese and topped off with melted butter and savory. I recommend serving these potatoes with some juicy oven baked pork chops.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 lb potatoes 900 g
- 1/2 lb feta cheese 250 g, a harder variety for easier grating
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil mine was sunflower oil
- 1 1/2 tbsp savory spice
- a pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- Boil the potatoes with their skins on in a pot of water but don’t boil them to completion. The potatoes should not be too soft to be grated easily.
- Shred the feta cheese using a grater or a food processor.
- Peel the skins off the boiled potatoes with a paring knife and grate them into large pieces.
- Spread half of the potatoes in a 12-inch baking dish (30 cm), then layer the feta cheese on top of them. Cover the cheese with the rest of the shredded potatoes.
- Season the potatoes with the salt, black pepper, cumin, and savory, then pour over the vegetable oil.
- Mix all of the ingredients together, then smooth the top with a spatula.
- Divide the butter into four equal pieces and place it on top of the potatoes.
- Bake the potatoes for one hour in an oven preheated to 350°F (180°C).

Notes
- You don't need to grease your baking dish as the potato mixture has plenty of vegetable oil to prevent it from sticking.
- The boiling time is just an estimate and it will depend on the size of the potatoes. When I was making the recipe you see in the photos, I boiled mine for 24 min.
- Make sure you don't boil the potatoes completely. They should have a tender texture, that's not overly soft. Otherwise, you won't be able to properly grate them.
- There's no need to wash your grater after you've finished grating the cheese. The cheese and potatoes will eventually get mixed.
- The feta cheese should be of the hard varieties. Look for something like Bulgarian brine feta cheese in the store. Preferably, touch the cheese you're about to buy and see if it's not too soft for grating.
