-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 russet potatoes
1/4 cup olive oil
8 ounces soft mild goat cheese
3 tablespoons milk -- (up to 4)
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh herbs -- i.e. parsley,

1 garlic clove -- finely minced
salt and freshly ground black pepper
pink peppercorns -- chopped toasted

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Cut the potatoes crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices and arrange in a single l
ayer on one or more oiled baking sheets, as needed. Drizzle the potato slices w
ith olive oil. Roast them in the oven, turning them once, for about 30 minutes

ns, pistachios, red bell pepper or herb sprigs.
