Flattened Potatoes Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into halves or quarters. Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain and let cool slightly.

2. 2

   Flatten the Potatoes

   Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, gently mash them to flatten without breaking apart. You can use a potato masher or the bottom of a glass.

3. 3

   Fry the Garlic Chips

   Thinly slice the garlic cloves. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add the garlic slices. Fry until golden and crispy, then remove and drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   Whip the Manouri Cheese

   In a bowl, whisk the Manouri cheese until smooth. You can add a bit of olive oil for creaminess if desired.

5. 5

   Assembly

   On a serving platter, place the flattened potatoes. Top with whipped Manouri cheese, sprinkle with dried olives, capers, and garlic chips. Drizzle with extra olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
