Ingredients
- dip 1 block (about 8 oz) feta cheese 1 cup cottage cheese (look for high-protein or low-fat if preferred) 1/2 english cucumber, grated and water squeezed out 1 tbsp garlic grated or minced 1/4 cup fresh dill, finely chopped (or to taste) juice of 1/2 lemon 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (optional, for richness) sea salt and black pepper, to taste
- potatoes
- 2 large russet potatoes, peeled if desired 1–2 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil 1/2 tsp sea salt 1/2 tsp garlic powder optional: black pepper, paprika, or dried herbs
Instructions
- prep the fries: cut potatoes into matchstick fries. soak in cold water for at least 30 minutes, then drain and pat dry very well.
- season and bake: toss fries in oil, salt, and any other seasonings. spread fries in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. bake at 425°f (220°c) for 30-32 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
- blend the base: for the dip, in a food processor or high-speed blender, add the cottage cheese and feta. blend until smooth and creamy.
- mix in the rest: transfer to a bowl and stir in the grated, drained cucumber, garlic, dill, lemon juice, olive oil (if using), salt, and pepper. taste and adjust seasoning.
- chill: cover and let it chill for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors come together.
- serve: drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle more dill on top if desired. serve with hot, crispy homemade fries.
