You could make a lovely au gratin, even though its not a Greek recipe you can make its little more Greek style by adding oregano and garlic

Creamy au Gratin Potatoes
Au gratin potatoes made with thinly sliced potatoes and onions baked in a decadently rich and creamy Cheddar cheese sauce until tender and bubbling.
The Cretan graviera Greek cheese is amazing (great suggestion to use this cheese in making au gratin potatoes):

Saganaki with graviera is amazing, also you can use it grated on pasta bakes. We usually add it to bechamel sauce for pasticcio and moussaka.
Since you like it uncooked, try some honey drizzled on top!

This cheese is great because of how it melts. I would experiment with it. I made a grilled cheese sandwich with it once and it was AMAZING.

One of the things I love most about Greek honey is its versatility. You can use it in so many different ways in the kitchen. I've drizzled it over Greek yogurt for breakfast, mixed it into salad dressings for a touch of sweetness, and even used it as a glaze for roasted vegetables. The depth of flavor it adds to dishes is truly remarkable.
But perhaps my favorite way to use Greek honey is in baking. It adds a wonderful depth of flavor to cakes, cookies, and pastries. I recently made a batch of baklava using Greek honey, and it was a game-changer. The honey soaked into the layers of phyllo dough, creating a sweet and sticky treat that was absolutely irresistible.
I go out of my way to buy it - if I can't find it locally, I get it online. When I go to Greece, I get some in Greece, too.

I have learned so much about Greek cuisine by being on this forum! I know that there are standard recipes that everyone seems to cook.
For example, you can get souvlaki all over. Everyone seems to serve a village salad with slight variations. Most regions seem to make moussaka. There are tons of others.
I have also noticed that each region has their own specialties. How do you go about learning about them?
