Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 lbs baby potatoes
- 8 oz goat cheese
- ½ cup heavy cream
Seasonings and Herbs:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs
- Freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Wash 2 lbs of baby potatoes thoroughly. Pat them completely dry with paper towels to ensure crispy roasting.
- Cut potatoes into 1-inch chunks, keeping sizes uniform for even cooking. Toss with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
- Spread potatoes on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they’re not overcrowded. Roast at 425°F for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- While potatoes roast, crumble 8 oz goat cheese into a saucepan. Pour ½ cup heavy cream over the cheese.
- Warm the goat cheese mixture over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and creamy. Do not let it boil.
- Remove potatoes from oven when golden brown and crisp on edges. Test for tenderness with a fork.
- Transfer hot potatoes to a serving platter. Pour melted goat cheese sauce directly over the top.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs and extra black pepper across the dish. Serve immediately while warm and cheese is soft.
Notes
- Select waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold for the best texture and even roasting.
- Cut potatoes into uniform chunks to ensure they cook at the same rate and develop a crispy exterior.
- Use fresh, high-quality goat cheese for a creamy, tangy sauce that complements the roasted potatoes.
- For a lighter version, substitute half the goat cheese with Greek yogurt to reduce calories while maintaining richness.
