Ingredients

5 large red potatoes, scrubbed
Kosher salt
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 clove garlic
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
3/4 cup olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces fresh goat cheese
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional)

Directions

Put the potatoes in a pot of salted cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, but still firm, 12 to15 minutes. Drain and let cool before cutting each potato in 1/2-inch-thick slices.

While the potatoes are cooking, combine the vinegar, garlic, mustard, basil and 1/2 cup of the oil in a blender and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

Heat your grill to medium.

Brush the potato slices on both sides with the remaining 1/4 cup oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the potatoes on the grill, close the cover, and grill until lightly golden brown and just cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.

Carefully transfer the potatoes to a flat surface. Make stacks by layering the following: 1 slice potato, 1 tablespoon goat cheese, 1 slice potato, 1 tablespoon goat cheese, 1 slice potato. Place the stacks back on the grill, close the cover, and grill until the cheese begins to melt, about 1 minute.

Transfer the potatoes to a platter, drizzle some of the vinaigrette on and around the potatoes, and sprinkle with the chives.

Great flavors!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I liked how easy it was to prepare. I cooked mine in a grill pan and they came out great! The vinaigrette looked a bit... muddy to me... did anyone else get that too? My vinaigrette did not look like the one pictured. It still tasted great!!!Read more

Looks great. Really want to try this recipe
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I can't wait to try this recipe, but I really dislike goat cheese. I saw that someone replaced it with bleu cheese, but I... really don't like that either. Any other suggestions for which type of cheese would work well.....brie maybe? Thanks!Read more

I love the sauce, in fact I put it on my sirloins while they were cooking. I will make it again, but double the sauce. I... would use it for steak again too...or would be tasty on chicken or pork.Read more
