Roasted Idaho®-grown Yukon Gold Potatoes with Tapenade and Goat Cheese


Yield: 24 servings (3 potato slices per serving)

Ingredients


Base:
  • 9 Idaho®-grown Yukon Gold potatoes, about 5 ounces each (3 pounds total), scrubbed and halved crosswise
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

Cheese Topping:
  • 3 ounces goat cheese
  • 1 tablespoon 2 % milk

Tapenade Topping:
  • 1/2 cup roasted red peppers
  • 20 pitted kalamata olives
  • 10 medium basil leaves (about 2 tablespoons chopped)
  • 3 medium garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Garnish Topping:
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped roasted red peppers
  • 24 pitted kalamata olives, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped basil leaves


Directions


  1. Coat a 3 1/2-quart slow cooker with cooking spray, add the potatoes and 1/4 cup of the oil, toss to coat completely, cover and cook on high setting 4 hours until tender when pierced with a fork. Remove potatoes, discarding the oil, and cool completely on a wire rack.
  2. Meanwhile, place the goat cheese in a place in microwave safe bowl in microwave on high setting 15-20 seconds or until softened. Stir in the milk, cover and refrigerate until time of serving. Combine the remaining topping ingredients in a blender and pulse to a coarse texture.
  3. Cut the "ends" off of each potato half, place cut side down and cut each potato half into 4 slices, about 1/4 inch thick. Reserve the "ends" (about 1 1/2 cups) for another use, such as Rustic Roasted Idaho®-grown Yukon Gold Potato and Artichoke Salad.
  4. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of the goat cheese on top of each round and spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper mixture on top of goat cheese. Top each with 1/4 teaspoon finely chopped roasted peppers, 1/4 teaspoon finely chopped olives, and 1/8 teaspoon finely chopped basil.

    Cook's Tip: The potatoes can be served as simple roasted potatoes for other occasions as well.
