Ingredients

Method

• Wash your potatoes and add them to a pot of boiling water with 1 tbsp of salt. Boild for approximately 25min until fork tender.

• Grate your halloumi in a bowl and then prepare a baking sheet with some parchment paper. Add your halloumi in small circles and then place a potato on top. Use the back of a heavy measuring cup or ramekin to smash each potato.

• Bake the potatoes in a preheated oven at 180C for approximately 15-20min until the halloumi crisps up and becomes golden brown on the edges. Keep a close eye to make sure the cheese doesn’t burn!
