Place them onto a large roasting tray. Top the potatoes with the sauteed corn and onion mixture and place in the oven to cook. This should take about 30 to 45 minutes (some ovens may need longer than others). Wait until just before serving to mix in the diced tomatoes and chopped chives and crumble in the goat's cheese.

In a large saucepan add the oil, and saute the garlic and shallots over a gentle heat until translucent. (If you have any trimmings of meat, you would add them at this time). Deglaze the pan with the wine, and add the beef stock and the fresh herbs. Allow this mixture to reduce. It could take 20 to 30 minutes (sometimes longer) at a rolling boil, uncovered. You want the liquid to evaporate to about 1/3 of what you started with (in order to intensify the flavor).
