Trust me, it’s the sauce that changes everything here.

This low carb cheesy potato and ham tart is a delightful twist on the classic savory tart, perfect for those looking to indulge without the carb overload. Originating from the French tradition of savory pies, this dish combines the comforting flavors of potatoes and ham with a rich, cheesy sauce. It’s an ideal dish for brunch, lunch, or a light dinner, offering a satisfying blend of textures and flavors. The use of thinly sliced potatoes gives the illusion of a traditional potato tart while keeping the carb count low, making it a great option for those following a low-carb lifestyle.

This tart pairs beautifully with a fresh, crisp green salad dressed in a light vinaigrette, which complements the richness of the cheese and ham. For a heartier meal, consider serving it alongside roasted vegetables or a simple tomato soup. A glass of dry white wine or a light-bodied red would also enhance the flavors of the dish, making for a well-rounded dining experience.
