Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds potatoes, cleaned and cut into wedges
- 1 tablespoon oil (olive or vegetable)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Goat Cheese Dressing
- 4 tablespoons goat cheese (chevre), crumbled, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar)
- 1 clove garlic, minced or grated
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon grainy mustard
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes.
- Toss the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with the oil, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
- Roast the Potatoes: Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time to ensure they become golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Prepare the Dressing: While the potatoes roast, combine the crumbled goat cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, and grainy mustard in a separate bowl. Stir the mixture until it is smooth and well blended, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss Potatoes with Dressing: Once the potatoes are warm and roasted, toss them gently with the goat cheese dressing. The warmth of the potatoes will slightly melt the goat cheese, coating them in a delicious creamy dressing.
- Serve Warm: Serve the potatoes warm as a flavorful side dish or snack and enjoy the blend of crispy texture and tangy, creamy dressing.
Notes
- You can substitute lemon juice with apple cider vinegar for a slightly different tanginess in the dressing.
- Use room temperature goat cheese to ensure it mixes smoothly into the dressing.
- To make the potatoes extra crispy, arrange them in a single layer without overcrowding on the baking sheet.
- Feel free to add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the potatoes for added flavor during roasting.
- This dish can be served as a side for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or enjoyed on its own.
