This rustic potato gratin with goat’s cheese is a sophisticated twist on a classic comfort food favourite. By roasting thick potato wedges with fresh rosemary and olive oil, you achieve a wonderful contrast between the crisp, golden exterior and the fluffy centre. The addition of tangy, melted goat’s cheese provides a creamy finish that balances the earthy herbs perfectly.

As a versatile vegetarian dish, this gratin works beautifully as a substantial side for a Sunday roast or as a light main meal when served with a crisp green salad. It is an excellent choice for a simple evening supper or a dinner party accompaniment, offering a refined flavour profile that requires very little preparation time in the kitchen.

Preheat oven to 425°. Toss potatoes with oil and rosemary in a baking dish; season with salt and pepper. Roast, tossing halfway through, until potatoes are golden brown and tender, 25-30 minutes. Pierce with a paring knife, or eat one, to make sure they're ready.

Remove potatoes from oven and heat grill. Crumble cheese over potatoes and grill until cheese is golden brown and bubbling.
