Ingredients
Scale
Roasted Potatoes
- 2 pounds potatoes, cleaned and cut into wedges
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Melted 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 ensure it’s hot and ready for roasting the potatoes.
- Prepare Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with oil, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated for consistent roasting and flavor.
- Roast Potatoes: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast them for 35 minutes, turning halfway through to achieve a golden brown and crispy texture.
- Make Dressing: In a separate bowl, combine the goat cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Dijon mustard, and grainy mustard. Mix well until the dressing is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
- Toss Potatoes with Dressing: Toss the warm roasted potatoes with the goat cheese dressing so the cheese melts slightly into the potatoes, coating them evenly with creamy flavor.
- Serve Warm: Serve the roasted potatoes immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- The potatoes can be peeled or left unpeeled based on your preference.
- Use Yukon gold or red potatoes for a creamier texture and excellent roasting results.
- You can substitute lemon juice with apple cider vinegar for a different acidity note.
- For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting and dry thoroughly.
- This dish pairs well with grilled meats or a fresh green salad for a balanced meal.
