Made for Thanksgiving, everyone loved it! Such a simple recipe and full of flavor! I added chives & bacon. 
Lisa Willis
These are great! I added chopped bacon and chives for an extra kick. They were a hit and guests got second and third helpings. Will definitely be making them again.

These are delicious. I was concerned the blue cheese would be too overpowering, but it wasn’t. I made this with a roast beef and some vegetables. The strong flavor from the potatoes married well with the slow cooked beef. This is one of my stand-by side dishes that I really enjoy. If you’re not a fan of blue cheese then you may want to pass this by, but if you’re a cheese fan then this is a winner.

These came out great!! I added some complete seasoning to the cream and chopped up some scallions. I used red potatoes instead I didnt have any golden 1’s

I guess I’m more a fan of the classic mashed potato recipes. I thought this combination of blue cheese with mashed potatoes was something interesting to try, but not likely something I would do again..

Nevertheless, it was a nice little twist on mashed potatoes. I may have overdid it with the blue cheese, because the taste of the blue cheese was really overpowering for me. I thought the cream and butter made for a great texture though.
