Blue Cheese Mashed Potatoes
These creamy Blue Cheese Mashed Potatoes are an earthy and tangy twist on a classic, without being overpowering. They're the perfect pairing for prime rib, lamb, ham or even turkey!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds russet potatoes peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
- ⅓ cup half and half
- ⅓ cup whole milk
- 4 tablespoons room temperature unsalted butter
- 2 ounces blue cheese crumbles
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- Chopped fresh chives for garnish
Instructions
- Place potatoes in large pot and add just enough cold water to cover. Heat to boiling over high heat and cook 15 to 20 minutes, or until potatoes are very tender.
- Meanwhile, heat half and half and milk in small pot over medium-low heat until warm.
- When potatoes are tender, drain well and return to pot over low heat; mash with potato masher. Stir in butter, cheese, salt and warmed half and half and milk.
- Transfer to serving bowl and serve garnished with chives.
Notes
- While I typically reach for blue cheese for mashed potatoes simply because it’s a little bit cheaper, if you have Gorgonzola on hand, you could use definitely make Gorgonzola mashed potatoes!
