Been serving this with our holiday turkey for the last 10 years or so. Very good in place of plain mashed potatoes. Try to find a stronger flavor chevre (the more aged, the stronger). If you prefer a creamier texture, add more chevre or some milk while mashing.

How To Make smashed roots and tubers with chevre (goat cheese)

  • Step 1
    Peel and trim all vegetables, and cube in 1-inch pieces.
  • Step 2
    Bring large pot of water to boil, and add vegetables. Cook until just tender, about 15 minutes
  • Step 3
    Drain and return to pan. Add chevre and butter and mash until desired consistency. (I like mine a little lumpy).
  • Step 4
    Stir in chives and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring back to heat over medium burner, stirring to keep from sticking. Serve.
