Description

This dish is a tribute to the simplicity and richness of Mediterranean cuisine, presented in a modern and incredibly aesthetic form. Instead of classic roasted potatoes, we have small, boiled, then slightly crushed and baked until golden tubers, which gain an amazing crispiness on the outside while remaining creamy on the inside thanks to this technique. The sweetness of the dish comes from roasted peppers, which caramelize their natural sugars under high heat, creating a kind of aromatic jam. The counterpoint to this sweetness is a bold, slightly salty, and spicy goat cheese cream, enriched with fresh thyme and a hint of lemon. The whole is complemented by crunchy walnuts and a delicate drizzle of honey. The dish is extremely versatile – it can serve as a standalone, light vegetarian lunch, an exquisite appetizer, or an impressive side to roasted meats or fish. Its color composition – the gold of the potatoes, the red and yellow of the peppers, and the white of the cheese – makes it look stunning on the plate.

Preparation steps

Preparation of Peppers

1

Preheat the oven to 220°C (fan). Wash the peppers, dry them, and place them whole on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in the hot oven for about 20-25 minutes. During baking, turn them once to ensure even roasting. The skin should blacken and become blistered – this is a sign that they are ready.

Ingredients: Red bell pepper, Yellow bell pepper
Use a large baking tray so that the peppers do not touch each other. Don't worry about the black skin; it's a desired effect that makes it easier to remove and gives the pepper a smoky aroma.
2

Immediately transfer the hot peppers to a glass bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap or a plate. Let sit for 10-15 minutes. The steam that collects in the bowl will make the skin easily come off the flesh.

Be careful, the peppers are very hot! Use kitchen tongs to handle them. This step is crucial for easy peeling.
3

After steaming, remove the foil. Now you can easily peel the skin off the peppers with your fingers. After peeling, remove the seeds and stems. Cut the flesh into thick strips about 1-2 cm wide. Transfer the strips to a bowl, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the pressed garlic, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Gently mix and set aside.

Ingredients: Red bell pepper, Yellow bell pepper, Extra virgin olive oil, Garlic, Coarse sea salt, Pieprz czarny świeżo mielony
Do not rinse the peppers under water after roasting, so you don't lose the precious sweet juice! If you have trouble removing the seeds, you can gently rinse the inside of the pepper, but try to keep as much flavor as possible.

Preparing Potatoes

4

Scrub the potatoes thoroughly under running water, do not peel them. Place them in a large pot, cover with cold water so that they are completely submerged, and add a generous pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes from the moment of boiling, until they are tender (a fork should go in with slight resistance).

Ingredients: Młode ziemniaki, Coarse sea salt
Do not overcook the potatoes! They should be soft but still firm; otherwise, they will fall apart when mashing. Use a pot with a capacity of at least 4 liters.
5

Reduce the oven temperature to 200°C (fan). Drain the potatoes and spread them on the same baking sheet that the peppers were roasted on, keeping some space between them. Using the bottom of a glass or a potato masher, gently press down on each potato until it slightly cracks and flattens to a thickness of about 1.5-2 cm.

Ingredients: Młode ziemniaki
Press slowly and gently. The goal is to 'open' the potato and create an uneven surface, not to flatten it. The more cracks and crevices, the more crispy edges after baking.
6

Drizzle the crushed potatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Generously sprinkle with sea salt, freshly ground pepper, and leaves from a few sprigs of thyme. Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the potatoes are deep golden and crispy at the edges.

Ingredients: Extra virgin olive oil, Coarse sea salt, Pieprz czarny świeżo mielony, Fresh thyme
To achieve maximum crispiness, do not overcrowd the baking sheet. If the potatoes are too close together, they will steam instead of bake. If necessary, use two baking sheets.

Goat Cheese Cream

7

Meanwhile, while the potatoes are baking, prepare the cream. In a food processor bowl or using an immersion blender, place the goat cheese, Greek yogurt, leaves from the remaining thyme sprigs, and the grated zest of half a lemon. Blend until smooth and fluffy. Season to taste with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Ingredients: Ser kozi twarogowy, Greek yogurt, Fresh thyme, Lemon, Coarse sea salt, Pieprz czarny świeżo mielony
If you don't have a food processor, you can vigorously mash the cheese with the yogurt using a fork in a bowl until you achieve as smooth a consistency as possible. Adding yogurt is key to achieving a creamy, not clumpy texture.

Dish Composition

8

Remove the golden potatoes from the oven. Transfer them to a large platter or plate. Artfully arrange strips of aromatic pepper on the potatoes. Using two teaspoons or a piping bag, place dollops of goat cheese cream between the potatoes and the pepper.

Ingredients: Młode ziemniaki, Red bell pepper, Yellow bell pepper, Ser kozi twarogowy
Serve the dish warm. You can also arrange the ingredients separately on the table so that everyone can compose their own portion as they wish.
9

Sprinkle everything with coarsely chopped walnuts, if using. Just before serving, drizzle lightly with liquid honey. Garnish with a few fresh thyme leaves. Serve immediately while the potatoes are hot and crispy.

Ingredients: Walnuts, Liquid honey, Fresh thyme
Don't skip the honey and nuts if you have them on hand! They add another layer of flavor and texture that elevates this simple dish to the next level. The honey balances the saltiness of the cheese, while the nuts add a pleasant crunch.

Fun Fact

💡

Goat cheese is one of the oldest dairy products made by humans, with a history that dates back over 10,000 years in what is now Iran. It is believed to have been easier to produce for early civilizations than cow's cheese, as goats are more resilient and easier to raise.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve on a large, flat platter in a 'family style' so guests can help themselves. The dish tastes best warm, right after preparation. It pairs wonderfully with a glass of chilled, crisp white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc.

🥡 Storage

If there are leftovers, store each ingredient (potatoes, bell pepper, cream cheese) separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 2 days. It's best to reheat the potatoes in the oven at 180°C for 10-15 minutes to regain their crispiness. Serve the cream cheese chilled.
