What is Thick cacık with potato?
Thick cacık with potato is a Turkish-style variation on cacık, made with thick yoghurt, boiled potato, cucumber and garlic. The ingredients are mixed into a spoonable dip rather than the thinner, pourable cacık often served as a side. Its exact texture depends on how finely the potato and cucumber are cut and how thick the yoghurt is.
In Turkey, it is served chilled as a meze or alongside a meal, especially when a cool, creamy accompaniment is welcome. Yoghurt brings tang and protein, while potato makes the dish more substantial; cucumber and garlic keep its flavour fresh and savoury. For a lighter version, use a less-rich yoghurt and adjust the garlic to taste. It pairs naturally with grilled vegetables, bread or a spread of other meze.
