Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese (crumbled)
• 0.75 cup Heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

Wash and dry the baby potatoes. Slice larger potatoes into halves or quarters to ensure uniform size for even roasting.

Step 3

In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Step 5

While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the Gorgonzola cheese sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.

Step 6

Add the heavy cream to the saucepan and heat until it begins to simmer gently, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, and gradually stir in the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Once the potatoes are done roasting, transfer them to a serving dish. Drizzle the warm Gorgonzola cheese sauce over the top, or serve it on the side for dipping.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh thyme leaves if desired and serve immediately.
