Method

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C. Grease a 20 cm square baking dish with a drizzle of olive oil.
  2. In a saucepan combine rice and water, bring to boil, then simmer covered 12 minutes until just tender.
  3. Meanwhile, toss the sliced potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper and half the herbs; arrange a layer in the dish.
  4. Scatter the cooked rice over the potatoes, then top with the remaining potatoes in a second layer.
  5. Combine the onion, milk, remaining herbs and a pinch of salt; pour over the top.
  6. Scatter crumbled feta evenly, then bake 25‑30 minutes until potatoes are golden and the cheese is bubbling.

Cover the dish with foil for the first 15 minutes; this steams the potatoes and prevents premature browning.

Serve alongside Flip through a vintage property catalogue while the bake finishes.
