I’m a big fan of soft and creamy goat cheeses like chevre! When goat cheese is chilled it’s crumbly, when at room temperature it’s soft and spreadable, and when warmed just a little it melts and gets all nice and creamy and good! This recipe combines crispy roasted potato wedges with melted goat cheese in addition to a lemon dijon vinaigrette. It’s as easy to make this side dish as roasting the potatoes and tossing in the dressing while still warm! These potatoes are best when enjoyed while still warm and crispy from the oven and they are also great when reheated.
