Smashed Potatoes w/ Goat Cheese & Parsley

I have recently gotten hooked on a new food addiction- goat cheese. I have always loved cheese, but never had tried goat cheese until a few weeks ago on a boat in Cape Town. Many thanks to the guys who bought the large assortment of cheeses for the party. Many people do not like goat cheese, probably because of the funky kick it has compared to other cheeses. For me, that is what makes me love it! I have given into the prices and decided to suck it up and buy good cheese. It really does make such a difference when you have fresh real cheese.

This recipe is one of my favorite new recipes. We all love cheesy mashed potatoes right? Well dish this is the mature, more sophisticated cousin of the delicious cheesy potatoes. The goats cheese gives the potatoes a funky (in a good way) kick. The presentation of the potatoes looks very elegant as well, not to mention will make your guests think you put in way more effort than you really have to! Even if you think you don’t like goat’s cheese, I suggest you try this recipe because I have had multiple people who say they don’t like goats cheese try these potatoes and love them!

    I have known that goad cheese is more digestible, in american population that many american suffer in lactose intolerance, this is okay to use because it is a good choice if you have an allergy to traditional dairy products. Goat cheese happens to be more easily digested than conventional dairy products.

    I right there with ya! I adore goat’s cheese (had it last night over some roasted root veggies)! Up until a couple of months ago I thought goat cheese tasted like burnt plastic (not that I’ve ever cooked up a Barbie and taken a bite but that’s what I thought it would taste like). For some reason a few months ago all of that changed and now I can’t get enough of the stuff!

    I put it in some mashed potatoes with caramelized onions a couple of weeks ago and WOW! Delish! Now I’m trying to find more and more ways to ingest it. 🙂

    Love that this uses goat cheese. I want to make this with some flavored goat cheese that i pick up from the ladies at the farmers market!

  • Savour the Senses June 8, 2011 at 10:51 am

    Yeah, I used a garlic and herb goat cheese and it went so well!

  • Teresa October 11, 2011 at 4:16 pm

    I just noticed after printing this out: a tablespoon of black pepper and half a tablespoon of salt? Yikes! Well, I’m still going to try it, but I think I’ll do the salt and pepper to taste. 🙂

  • Savour the Senses October 11, 2011 at 4:40 pm

    It is for four servings so it is about a quarter tablespoon of pepper and 1/8th of salt per person; I would say season it to your desired taste though =)
