Goat Cheese Mashed Potatoes

by Shawn Stanchfield

These luxurious mashed potatoes are elevated with a generous dose of savory garlic and creamy, mild goat cheese. The combination of heavy cream, rich butter, and tangy cheese creates a deeply flavorful, comforting side dish that works wonderfully alongside hearty roasted meats or vegetables. To balance the rich, earthy profile of the goat cheese, pair this dish with a crisp, herbaceous white wine like Sauvignon Blanc; its bright acidity beautifully cuts through the heavy cream and complements the garlic.

Monterey Sauvignon Blanc

Our offering of Sauvignon Blanc is pale yellow in appearance with a slight tinge of green. It bursts with scents of passion fruit, grapefruit, and lemongrass. Mineral notes shine in the mid-palette while the grapefruit and grass linger on the finish.
