Potato Cakes With Cottage Cheese Dip And Tomato Salsa

• 1 pound russet potatoes
• 4 tomatoes deseeded and finely chopped
• 2 red onions peeled and diced
• 1 clove garlic peeled and finely chopped
• 1 lime zested and half juiced, half cut into slices
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons chili sauce
• 2 1/4 cups cottage cheese divided
• 2/3 cup whole milk yogurt
• 2 sprigs parsley
• 1/2 bunch chives
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 pinch grated nutmeg
• 5 tablespoons oil

1. Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for about 25 mins. Drain, then when cool enough to handle, peel and mash, or push through a potato ricer, and leave to cool. Meanwhile, prepare the tomato salsa. Mix the tomatoes, onion, garlic, lime zest, lime juice, olive oil and chili sauce in a bowl. Season, then chill in the refrigerator.
2. To make the cheese dip, mix 1 1/3 cup of the cottage cheese in a bowl with the yogurt, add the parsley and chives, reserving a little for garnish, and season.
3. To prepare the potato cakes, combine the rest of the cottage cheese in a separate bowl with the egg and flour, then thoroughly mix in the mashed potatoes. Season, adding a pinch of nutmeg, then divide into 12 equal portions. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry the potato cakes, turning, over a medium heat. Serve the potato cakes with the tomato salsa and the cheese dip on the side. Garnish with the chopped chives, parsley and lime slices.
