Ingredients

• 2 pounds baby potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
• 4 ounces Roquefort cheese
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons chives

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and dry the baby potatoes. Halve them if they are larger than bite-sized.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and fresh rosemary until evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the potatoes out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer.

Step 5

Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through cooking.

Step 6

While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the Roquefort cheese sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the Roquefort cheese, heavy cream, and minced garlic.

Step 7

Stir the cheese mixture continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 8

Once the potatoes are roasted, transfer them to a serving platter.

Step 9

Drizzle the warm Roquefort cheese sauce evenly over the potatoes.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped chives and serve immediately.
