WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO DO WITH POTATOES?
Try my Roasted Potato Flan with Goat Cheese and Leek Dressing! I had bought Yukon Gold potatoes for the holidays and since I was under the weather, I didn’t get to make my goat cheese mashed potatoes. And during the week, I usually don’t make mashed potatoes as they take a little more time, so I save that dish for a weekend dinner.
I was making dinner for my husband, John and myself, so I pulled out two potatoes, scrubbed them up, and thought I would slice them as if they were in a flan. I grabbed some carrots I had in the fridge, and sliced them up and placed them around the dish. Drizzling some of my Blended Oil Seasoning over top, it was easy to plop them in the oven for a quick roast for about 30 minutes!
TRY GOAT CHEESE INSTEAD OF SOUR CREAM OR BUTTER!
So I thought, what could I do to dress up a roasted potato with the goat cheese I had as a side to the steak I was making? Well, instead of a baked potato where you traditionally put sour cream and/or butter on it, I thought it’d be interesting to make a cream sauce with the goat cheese! Just throw in some honey, a little milk, Herbes de Provence and some leeks, and WOW! Poured it over the roasted potatoes and carrots, and it was sooooo good! And easy, too!
What other ways can you dress up a potato? Let me know!
Until next time,
Let’s get cookin’
