Ricotta and potato crostini, my new go to for hosting #ad
I’m partnering with the Italian Trade Agency to share a recipe using authentic Italian cheeses, and today we’re focusing on ricotta. Italy is home to hundreds of cheeses, each with its own story, and ricotta is known for its fresh, light texture and delicate flavor.
Made from whey and naturally creamy, ricotta works beautifully in both sweet and savory recipes, but here it becomes a warm, fluffy potato filling spooned over crisp crostini.

RECIPE:
Ricotta & Potato Crostini
Ingredients:
● 2 medium russet potatoes
● 1 cup whole milk ricotta
● 2–3 tbsp chives, finely chopped
● 1 tsp garlic powder
● Salt and pepper, to taste
● 1 baguette, sliced into ½-inch rounds
● Olive oil or butter

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Pierce the potatoes with a fork and bake directly on the rack for 45–60 minutes, until tender.
2. Heat a large pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil or a bit of butter. Add the baguette slices in a single layer and toast for a few minutes per side until golden and crisp. Work in batches if needed and set aside.
3. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, slice them open and scoop the centers into a bowl.
4. Add ricotta, chives, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl and mix until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
5. Spoon the ricotta potato mixture onto each toasted slice and place on a baking sheet.
6. Bake for 8–10 minutes until warmed through and lightly golden. For extra color, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.
