I had no doubt that I would love this, since I love goat cheese with sett potatoes and yams. Roasting the seet potatoes and garlic really brings out a nice sweetness and mellows the garlic a bit. I made this just as written and wouldn't change a thing. Thanx!

This is very similar to a Bon Appetit recipe that I have been making and just adore. It uses about a 1/3 of the goat cheese, plus a 1/2 tablespoon of melted butter and a 1/4 teaspoon of truffle oil. The combination of sweet potato with goat cheese and truffle oil is sensational! This recipe would serve one for us.

I've made this a number of times, but never commented! The potato and cheese mix provides a strange, tangy taste which I adore. I once added some dijon mustard, which was made it even tangier, but it's not a necessary addition. Generally a very tasty dish, although it might not be to everyone's taste.
