  • Dice the potatoes, rinse them, and cover with cold water. Cook for 15 minutes. Finely chop the onion, grate the carrot, and cut the cheese into cubes. Cut the bread into cubes. Pour a little oil into a heated skillet and add the bread. Fry until the croutons are crisp and golden. Pour vegetable oil into a skillet, add the butter, then the onion, and sauté for 2 minutes; add the carrot and cook for 1 minute. Add this sauté to the pot, then add the cheese and stir until it has fully melted. Season with salt and pepper, cook for another 3 minutes, turn off the heat, and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Serve with the croutons and fresh herbs. Processed cheese is made from rennet cheeses, farmer cheese, milk powder, butter, and other dairy products. Various spices, herbs, fillers, and vegetable fats are often added. It's made by melting the ingredients at around 90°C with melting salts, which keep the cheese soft and prevent it from drying out. You'll find a growing variety of it on store shelves—in boxes, plastic tubs, and foil. There's plain cream cheese as well as many variations: with bacon, mushrooms, ham, herbs, and other add-ins. There are four main types of processed cheese: spreadable, sliceable, sweet, and sausage-style. Spreadable cheese has the consistency of homemade sour cream. It stands out for its high fat and water content—soft, with a delicate creamy taste and distinctive aroma, usually packaged in plastic tubs. It's easy to spread on bread, use as a sandwich filling, or work into sauces. You can find it plain or with added spices. Sliceable cheese is much firmer than the spreadable kind—firm enough to cut into slices or small pieces, hence the name. Its fat content can reach up to 70 percent. It's most often sold in the traditional foil wrapping many people remember from childhood. Sliceable cheeses come plain or with add-ins. Sweet cheese is exactly what it sounds like—ordinary processed cheese with added flavorings, often served as a dessert.
