What kind of potatoes?
Thin-skinned and waxy potatoes like Yukon gold, Red Rose, and fingerling are perfect for this main dish. They are moister and have a creamier texture than russet potatoes. Plus, the jewel-colored skins make an attractive dish.
Why should I steam my potatoes before roasting?
Have you ever oven-roasted your raw potatoes only to be disappointed by how long it takes and how some are still under-cooked? Chefs and restaurants often use this method because it ensures golden-edged potatoes that are smooth and creamy inside.
What is vegan goat cheese made of?
Vegan goat cheese is made from plant-based ingredients and is completely dairy-free. Typically it's made with high protein whole foods like nuts or tofu.
Some store-bought products contain oil and thickeners like tapioca or agar and artificial ingredients. It pays to read the label and seek out artisan products from farmers' markets and local vendors.

Pro tip
Do you ever lose count measuring for a recipe? I love this handy method for knowing just how many cups of vegetables I've added to a bowl or colander. Simply place a small end piece to the side of your work surface each time you measure a cup. Now you have a visual marker to dispel any doubts.
Just in case, you might want to double the recipe. I would hate for you not to have enough, and it makes terrific leftovers.
FAQ
Yes of course. It's your choice and you will have success with the recipe as long as the goat cheese you use meets your dietary preferences and tastes awesome.
