Baked New Potatoes with Herbs and Mature Cheese
Baked New Potatoes are slow-roasted whole until soft, then gently mashed and topped with farmer’s cheese and a fresh green onion and herb dressing. The dressing, made with lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper, brightens the mild potatoes, while the mature cheese adds a rich, tangy note. Fresh herbs like basil and thyme enhance the flavors, making a straightforward side dish with bright herbal, creamy, and slightly tangy elements.
