Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cook potatoes in salted water until tender, about 20 minutes.

In a skillet, cook smoked bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove bacon and drain on paper towels, leaving fat in the skillet.

Add chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, sour cream, and softened butter.

Mix in cooked bacon, sautéed onion, garlic, caraway seeds, salt, and black pepper.

Mash the mixture until smooth and well combined.

Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and smooth the top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

Meanwhile, prepare a mustard vinaigrette by whisking together mustard, vinegar, and a pinch of salt.
