GOAT CHEESE MASHED POTATOES RECIPE
The Southern Living Test Kitchen has made a lot of mashed potato recipes during its 50 years, and we have to say that this is one of our best mashed potatoes yet. Our typical mashed potato recipes call for milk and butter, but these mashed potatoes are truly over the top with the addition of goat cheese, heavy cream, and chopped fresh chives. Two cups of tangy goat cheese balances out the natural sweetness of the cream and potatoes while also adding more body and texture to the mashed potato dish. We call for plain goat cheese, but for something a little different, you can substitute a flavored goat cheese such as garlic and herb, or even sun-dried tomato. Instead of topping the mashed potatoes with chives-a classic combination-you can substitute parsley, rosemary, or thyme. Our recipe calls for the soft, cooked potatoes to be mashed with a potato masher, but if you light your potatoes extra light and fluffy, you can also use a ricer. Best of all, this easy mashed potato recipe doesn't require any additional time or effort to prepare-in two simple steps you'll have a big bowl of creamy, comforting mashed potato goodness.

Steps:
- Whisk 6 tablespoons olive oil, thyme, rosemary and pepper in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Add chicken breast halves and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours and up to 1 day.
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Scrape herb coating off chicken and sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet over high heat. Place marinated chicken breasts, skin side down, in skillet. Sear chicken until crisp and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Turn chicken and sear 4 minutes on second side. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until chicken is cooked through, about 6 minutes.
- Whisk lemon juice and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in large bowl to blend. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. Add arugula to dressing in bowl and toss to coat. Divide mashed potatoes among 6 plates. Top mashed potatoes with arugula salad, then with chicken breasts. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Start with fresh, flavorful potatoes, creamy goat cheese, and briny black olives. These ingredients will make all the difference in the final dish.
- Don't overcook the potatoes: The potatoes should be tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and bland.
- Mash the potatoes until smooth: Use a potato masher or ricer to create smooth, lump-free mashed potatoes. This will help the goat cheese and black olives distribute evenly throughout the dish.
- Season the mashed potatoes well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the mashed potatoes. This will help enhance the flavor of the dish.
- Add the goat cheese and black olives at the end: Stir in the goat cheese and black olives just before serving. This will help prevent the goat cheese from melting and the black olives from becoming too soft.
Conclusion:
Goat cheese black olive mashed potatoes are a delicious and unique twist on classic mashed potatoes. They're creamy, flavorful, and packed with briny, salty goodness. These mashed potatoes are perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. They're sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
