What is Potato Dish with Kashar Cheese?
Potato Dish with Kashar Cheese is a Turkish-style home-cooked dish of potatoes topped with kaşar, a mild, semi-hard cheese that melts readily. It may be cooked on the hob or baked, with the cheese softening over the potatoes and sometimes browning lightly on top. The result is tender and comforting, with a savoury, milky flavour.
In Turkey it is served hot as a simple lunch or dinner, often alongside a fresh salad or cacık. For English-speaking cooks elsewhere, it works well as a meat-free main or a substantial side. Potatoes make it mainly a carbohydrate-rich dish, while the cheese adds some protein and fat; use a lighter hand with the cheese and add vegetables for a less rich plate.
