Instructions
Dice the potatoes and transfer them into a pot. Pour just enough water to cover them and season with salt (I usually use about a tablespoon). Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. When boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered until almost ready (see note).
Meanwhile, cook the bacon, if not cooked already. When done, transfer it onto a few sheets of kitchen paper towel to get rid of the excess fat.
In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, cream cheese, mustard, salt and pepper and mix until smooth. Add milk and mix again.
When the potatoes are ready, drain the liquid. Transfer the potatoes into an oven-proof dish. Add cooked bacon pieces, sweet pickles and cream cheese mixture. Mix until well combined and top with shredded cheese.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400° Fahrenheit (200° Celsius) for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and turn nice golden brown.
Serve as a side or main!
Notes
Any bacon will work – strips (roughly chopped), pancetta cubes, ready-cooked bacon …
Greek yogurt can be substituted with natural yogurt (unsweetened) or sour cream.
You might need to use more milk, if you find the cream cheese mixture way too thick.
I used classic French mustard, but you can use any mustard you have on hand or you usually buy.
Cheddar can be substituted with any grated/shredded cheese you like. You can also use more.
This recipe yields 6 portions when served as a side or 4 when served as a main.
Note that the potato cooking time can vary. This will depend on their size and type. I needed about 10 minutes.
I used a rectangular oven proof dish with the dimensions of 9x7 inch (23x18 cm). This dish is a 3 inch (7 cm) deep. You can also use an oven proof dish that is shallower than this but to hold the amount stated in this recipe it will have to be larger in size. For a larger dish, you might need to use more cheese to cover the surface.
