Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 200 grams Cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and leave the skins on for added texture and flavor. Cut any larger potatoes into halves for even cooking.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 10–12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet and toss to coat them in the garlic and oil. Gently press down on each potato with the back of a fork or a spatula to slightly flatten them.
Season the potatoes with chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5–7 minutes, flipping the potatoes occasionally, until they are golden and crispy on the edges.
Remove the skillet from heat and gently mix in the cottage cheese, ensuring it coats the potatoes evenly.
Sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley and lemon zest for a bright, fresh finish.
Serve warm as a side dish or a light main dish. Enjoy!
