This is an old recipe from Bon Appetit, and I use it often because the tastes blend together deliciously. And here are some tips:
If you slice the potatoes really thin you can reduce the cooking time, which you might want to do. It is very simple to prepare it but it does take some time to cook it. You can even leave the skin on if you peel them thin enough. But watch them after 45 minutes so that they don't get burned.
You can use skim milk instead of whole milk, the taste is still creamy because of the cheese, and you can't even tell the difference.
To speed up the blending and so that you don't have clumps of goat cheese, blend the milk/cream, goat cheese, and seasonings using a immersion blender. Just make sure you use a deep dish so it doesn't splatter around.
You can also increase the amount of garlic if you are a garlic lover. Enjoy:)
