# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • It comes together faster than you'd think, with most of the work happening while the oven does its thing.
  • The contrast between crispy potatoes, creamy cottage cheese, and silky avocado is genuinely addictive.
  • Hot honey is the secret weapon that transforms everyday ingredients into something that feels restaurant-quality.
02 -
  • Don't crowd the baking sheet or your potatoes will steam instead of roast, and that's where the magic disappears.
  • Timing is everything with the avocado, so slice it right before serving so it doesn't brown and turn that sad greenish-gray.
03 -
  • Cut your sweet potatoes into uniform cubes so they cook evenly and you don't end up with some burnt edges and some undercooked centers.
  • Don't skip stirring the potatoes halfway through roasting; it's the difference between okay and genuinely crispy edges that you'll be thinking about all day.
