I’ve shared roasted potato recipes, potato salads and very few main dishes using potatoes.

Potatoes are :
- An excellent source of vitamin C

Depending on the type and size of potatoes you choose and of course cooking method, cooking time may vary. It is a common misconception that potatoes always require long cooking time and this Potatoes With Tomato Sauce Feta And Eggs Recipe is the perfect example.
Why I love this recipe even more it that it is kid friendly, has simple flavors and is fun to make.
In this Potatoes With Tomato Sauce Feta And Eggs Recipe, I used yellow potatoes. They are marble to large size; round or oblong shape; light tan to golden skin; yellow to golden flesh.
I had to pick the smallest potatoes in the bag, around 3 – 1/2 inches long, to make sure that they cook quickly. Also choosing potatoes with the same size in essential, so they cook at the same time.
Yellow potatoes are slightly waxy, velvety, moist and keep their shape relatively well, which makes them perfect for this Potatoes With Tomato Sauce Feta And Eggs Recipe.
Potatoes in combination with flavorful tomato sauce taste amazing. The addition of salty feta and eggs, fresh basil, black pepper, garlic and oregano is what makes the dish super delicious and unique.
What this dish lacks is heat, but you have the option to add some cracked hot red pepper on top, if you’d like.
