Active Time:  15 Minutes
Total Time:  25 Minutes
Yield:  Makes 24 Filled Potatoes
The combination of feta, olives, and pine nuts nestled in a potato is divine. For a creative presentation, cut a lemon in half and use it as an oasis for a fresh herb bouquet (cut a thin slice off the bottom so it will lie flat). Rosemary and thyme work well because they don't wilt.
RECIPE INGREDIENTS
For the Potatoes:
12  small new potatoes, uniform in size and shape
6  cups water
1 1/2  teaspoons kosher salt
For the Feta:
1/2  cup feta cheese
1/4  cup toasted pine nuts
2  tablespoons chopped green olives
1  tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1  tablespoon dried currants

1/4  teaspoon oregano

DIRECTIONS
FOR THE POTATOES:
Cut a thin slice off the top and bottom of each potato. Cut the potatoes in half crosswise. Place in a large saucepan and cover with the water. Add the kosher salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and let simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, 10 to 16 minutes. Be careful no to overcook. Strain and let cool.


FOR THE FETA:
Crumble the feta with a fork in a small bowl. Add the pine nuts, green olives, olive oil, currants, lemon zest, oregano, and pepper. Mix well.


TO ASSEMBLE:
Scoop out the center of each potato with a spoon or melon baller. Fill the centers with a heaping teaspoon of the feta mixture. Garnish with parsley leaf.


DO-AHEAD TIPS:
The feta mixture can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and refrigerated. (Do not add the pine nuts until ready to assemble, and let the mixture sit at room temperature 1 hour before assembly.) The potatoes can be assembled up to 4 hours in advance.
