Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 4 ounces Roquefort cheese
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons chives
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry the baby potatoes. Halve them if they are larger than bite-sized.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and fresh rosemary until evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through cooking.
While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the Roquefort cheese sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the Roquefort cheese, heavy cream, and minced garlic.
Stir the cheese mixture continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the potatoes are roasted, transfer them to a serving platter.
Drizzle the warm Roquefort cheese sauce evenly over the potatoes.
Garnish with freshly chopped chives and serve immediately.
