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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes evenly.
- Prepare Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with oil, salt, and pepper until each piece is evenly coated to ensure crispiness and flavor.
- Roast Potatoes: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 35 minutes, flipping halfway through to achieve a golden brown and crispy texture on all sides.
- Make Dressing: In a separate bowl, combine the crumbled goat cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and grainy mustard. Mix until smooth and season with salt and pepper to taste for a balanced flavor.
- Toss Potatoes: Immediately toss the warm roasted potatoes with the goat cheese dressing. The warmth will gently melt the goat cheese, creating a creamy coating over the potatoes.
- Serve: Enjoy the roasted potatoes warm as a delicious and flavorful side dish or snack.
Notes
- Use room temperature goat cheese for easier mixing and a smoother dressing consistency.
- Flip the potatoes halfway through roasting to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Adjust lemon juice or vinegar to balance the acidity according to your taste preference.
- Serve immediately after tossing to enjoy the creamy melted goat cheese texture.
- These roasted potatoes pair well with grilled meats or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
