# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together faster than you'd expect: 45 minutes total means you can have this on the table without the usual weeknight stress.
  • Every texture matters: Crispy potatoes, creamy avocado, tangy cottage cheese, and that spicy-sweet drizzle all play different roles.
  • Naturally vegetarian and gluten-free: No substitutions needed, no apologies required at the dinner table.
02 -
  • Don't skip the halfway turn: I learned this the hard way with burnt bottoms and pale tops—flipping the potatoes makes an actual difference in how they crisp.
  • Hot honey can be an afterthought that changes everything: It's not just drizzle for decoration; it creates a sauce that brings all the elements together into something cohesive.
03 -
  • Don't be shy with the hot honey: It's the thing that ties the whole bowl together, so resist the urge to drizzle timidly.
  • Taste your hot honey mixture before committing: A tiny spoon-dab on your tongue tells you if you need more heat or more honey balance without guessing.
