Pesto & Goat Cheese Potatoes

July 8, 2014 0 comments Article Recipes, Side Dishes

Do you ever find yourself making the same thing over and over again for dinner? That’s how I was beginning to feel about oven roasted potatoes; so one day I decided that I was going to amp them up a bit.

Goat-Cheese-Potato-SaladI love how versatile potatoes are. You can season them with practically anything! For me, I love cheese. And lately, I have been addicted to Haystack goat cheese; especially the Haystack Peak (a soft ashes rind goat cheese). When I found a Asparagus Goat Cheese Potato Salad recipe on Amuse Your Bouche, I knew I had to make something similar. For this dish, I had some extra Peak on hand, but you can use whatever type of cheese you like. I must say though, the soft cheese created the perfect creamy sauce for the potatoes. So there you have it, boring oven roasted potatoes to gourmet potatoes in 60 seconds! I definitely plan on trying all sorts of crazy combinations with my oven roasted potatoes from now on. Any suggestions?
