Why I Like this Recipe

I love this recipe because it proves that healthy food does not need to be complicated. The potatoes are golden and comforting, while the cottage cheese salad adds freshness and protein. It is budget-friendly, filling, and ideal when you want something warm, simple and nourishing without spending hours in the kitchen.

Tips and Variations

  • Try using sweet potatoes instead of baby potatoes for a sweeter taste and more fibre.
  • Add some chopped cucumber to the cottage cheese for a fresh, lighter touch.
  • A pinch of smoked paprika or chilli flakes adds extra depth or a gentle heat.
  • You can use avocado oil instead if you prefer.
  • Add grilled chicken or tofu if you want a more filling meal.
  • Serve with a simple green salad to make your meal more balanced.
  • This is a great option after a workout because it has a good mix of protein and carbs.
  • It’s also good for meal prep and keeps well in the fridge.

Meal Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For the best texture, keep the potatoes and cottage cheese salad in separate containers.

Freezer tips

It’s best not to freeze the cottage cheese salad because the texture will change. The potatoes, however, can be frozen for up to 1 month if needed.

Let frozen potatoes thaw overnight in the fridge, then reheat them in the oven until they are hot and crisp.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, regular potatoes work well. Cut them into evenly sized chunks so they roast at the same speed as baby potatoes.
Yes, this roasted potato recipe is vegetarian. It works well as a meat-free lunch or light dinner with cottage cheese and tomato salad.
Ricotta, skyr or thick Greek yoghurt all work well as alternatives. Choose a thicker option so the dish still feels creamy and filling.
Yes, you can prepare both parts in advance and combine them just before serving. Reheat the potatoes in the oven or air fryer if you want them crisp again.
Yes, it can work well for meal prep lunches. Store the roasted potatoes and cottage cheese mixture separately, then combine them when ready to eat.

Closing Note

You get crispy edges, a bit of creaminess, and something fresh in every bite, which is usually all you need. It’s the kind of meal you throw together without much planning and still end up enjoying. If you want to mix it up next time, try a version with a herby yoghurt dip.
