Ingredients

1 kg baby potatoes
2 tbsp Get Freaky Tzatziki Dip Mix
2 tbsp olive oil
4 pieces prosciutto or streaky bacon optional
2 tbsp fresh chopped mint optional

Whipped Cottage Cheese

1 cup cottage cheese
1 tsp Man Grind
1 tsp Lemon Juice
3 tbsp cream or Greek yoghurt

Directions

Preheat oven to 200C Fan Bake.
Cut the baby potatoes into slices about 0.75cm to 1cm thick.
Add to a large pot, cover with water and bring to a boil and cook for 8 minutes.
Drain the water well and leave to steam dry in the hot pot for a couple of minutes.
Drizzle the sliced potatoes with olive oil and then sprinkle over the Tzatziki Dip Mix. Toss gently to coat.
Arrange the sliced potatoes on a lined baking tray in an even layer.
Bake for 25 minutes or until golden and lightly crisp.
While the potatoes are roasting prepare the cottage cheese.
Add all the cottage cheese ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend for 1 minutes until smooth.
Cook the prosciutto or bacon in a pan until crisp, once cooked drain any excess fat off on a paper towel and chop into a fine crumb.
Remove potatoes from the oven and leave to cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Spread the whipped cottage cheese on a large plate or platter.
Next layer on the crisp potato slices.
Sprinkle over the prosciutto/bacon and garnish with chopped mint. You could use any fresh herb or leave out if you don’t have any.
Serve and enjoy!

Recipe Note

This would also be delicious with some blanched asparagus or peas added as well.

The bacon is totally optional and is just there for a textural element
