This is a great alternative to mayo based potato salad. Like others, I could not find goat based fromage blanc, but I did find regular fromage blanc and used that. It makes a ton of sauce, so add that sparingly as you go. It's got a great goat's cheese flavor. We will make again for sure!
Warm Potato and Goat Cheese Salad
Thick, rich goat's milk fromage blanc (fresh soft goat cheese, similar to ricotta) combines with sour cream for the basis of a creamy dressing that stands in for mayonnaise.
