Side Dishes: Potatoes with Cheese

Ingredients

  • 1kg of small potatoes
  • Ricotta cheese or cottage cheese
  • Salt and pepper
  • Lemon
  • Parsley
  • Heavy cream or plain yogurt
  • Bell pepper or tomato

Preparation

Boil the potatoes with their skin, previously washed. Peel them and cut them in half. Set aside.

Cream: In a bowl, mix the crumbled cheese, salt, and pepper to taste, the juice of half a lemon, and enough cream or yogurt to loosen the mixture. Add chopped parsley and mix well. Pour over the cooked potatoes and garnish with chopped bell pepper or tomato. This is a good side dish for red meat.
