French Goats cheese, bacon and Sweet Potato Rosti

Spread the love

Rosti is one of my go to comfort food dishes. The combination of potatoes, onion and bacon is hard to beat. It’s really easy to make and can be served as a light meal or as a side dish.

I was sent some French goats cheese to create a recipe with and this is the result, a Sweet Potato and  Bacon Rosti. I substituted sweet potatoes to give it a contrast to the salty cheese and bacon. Also, it is one of my favourite vegetables.

I got 3 different types of goats cheese. There were no name of producers so I can’t say which is which. Each had it’s own distinct characteristics. The favourite was the pyramidal one, creamy and not overly strong as some goats cheese can get.

I used them melted in this recipe but we also had some with just some cheese crackers too. Both ways were delicious.
