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 ensure the perfect roasting temperature for crispy potatoes.
- Prepare potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with oil, salt, and pepper until they’re evenly coated with seasoning and oil, which helps achieve a golden crust.
- Roast potatoes: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 35 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even browning and a crispy texture all around.
- Make dressing: While the potatoes roast, combine the goat cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and grainy mustard in a bowl. Mix thoroughly until smooth, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss potatoes with dressing: Once the potatoes are warm and crispy, toss them gently with the goat cheese dressing. The residual heat will melt the dressing slightly, creating a luscious coating.
- Serve warm: Serve immediately to enjoy the potatoes warm with the creamy, tangy goat cheese dressing.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before roasting, then pat dry.
- You can substitute lemon juice with apple cider vinegar for a different acidity profile.
- Use a non-stick or well-oiled baking sheet to prevent potatoes from sticking.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the dressing.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven to retain crispiness.
