Some quick facts about these delish Goat Cheese Slathered Potatoes
These goat cheese slathered potatoes are like uh wow. The scallions add a real sour cream and onion vibe that make them super addicting. Oh and did I mention they’re also super easy?
You’ll find yourself wanting to incorporate these guys into your dinner routine more and more. They’re that good! Here’s a couple quick tips to make them just as delicious every time! A key to “slathering” your goat cheese is to make sure you’re tossing the potatoes in them fresh out of the oven to spread the goat cheese all around! I love using mini potatoes like these because they tend to be quick and easy to prep and cut along with seeming to pack more of a punch in flavor.
One thing I love about this recipe it there aren’t a million bazillion spices to track. It’s salt and pepper. Yup that’s it!
I will say one thing that ultimately makes these Goat Cheese Slathered Roasted Potatoes so good is the crispy potatoes. First things first, serve them right away! But a couple other things you can do is to soak the cut potatoes in an ice bath. This removes the starch. Just make sure to dry them off before tossing in salt and pepper or the oil won’t stick.You know how the saying goes.. Like oil and water!
When it comes to choosing what kind of potatoes for your goat cheese slathered roasted side I’d suggest the minis. Your standard potatoes works just fine too! With the minis you get skin in each bite which is nice for adding contrast texture in each bite. When it comes to potato type, I’d look for golden and/or red potatoes. It all comes down to personal preference, but if I had to choose I’d say red potatoes all day!
