ROASTED POTATOES WITH GORGONZOLA CHEESE SAUCE



Roasted Potatoes With Gorgonzola Cheese Sauce image

Oh my gosh! So good! But by accident:) I made some herbed roasted potatoes and at the same time I had made some Gorgonzola cheese sauce for dipping steak. However after making the potatoes I got the idea to dip one in the cheese sauce. It was awesome. I knew I had an instant success. I poured the sauce over the potatoes and my company raved!!

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 -10 potatoes (I use red potatoes with the skin on)
4 garlic cloves (I use jarred and more is a good thing)
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon oregano
1 1/2 lemon, juice of
coarse salt (to taste)
coarse black pepper (to taste)
4 cups heavy cream
4 ounces crumbled gorgonzola (not dolce)
4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (to thicken)
ground pepper (do not add any salt)
4 tablespoons chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes whole until they are just tender. (Let them cool).
  • Bring the heavy cream to a boil in medium saucepan. Continue to boil over medium heat, (somewhat rapid boil), for a full 45 minutes. It should thicken nicely. Make sure you stir and watch that is does not overboil or you'll have a mess.
  • Remove from heat and add the cheeses, pepper and parsley. Whisk together and keep warm on low.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Cut potatoes into nice size wedges.
  • Put potatoes into a large bowl and add all the other ingredients.
  • Toss lightly to coat evenly with the oil mixture.
  • Place potatoes on cookie sheets evenly in single layer and bake until golden and crisp about 15 minutes. (Potatoes may be a little dry but that's not a problem as the sauce makes them perfect).
  • Place crisp potatoes in a serving dish and pour Gorgonzola cheese sauce on top of all and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Red potatoes are best for this recipe because they hold their shape well when smashed. Yukon Gold or fingerling potatoes are also good options.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: The potatoes should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bite to them. This will help them hold their shape when smashed.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet: A heavy-bottomed skillet will help the potatoes get crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: When smashing the potatoes, don't overcrowd the skillet. This will help them cook evenly and get crispy.
  • Season the potatoes well: Be generous with the salt and pepper when seasoning the potatoes. This will help bring out their flavor.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Once the potatoes are smashed, you can add your favorite toppings. Some popular options include cheese, bacon, chives, and sour cream.
