Blue Cheese Smashed Potatoes
Serves: 4 to 6
I love the whole idea of smashed potatoes. They’re rustic, fast to make and who cares about lumps? That’s the point! Try using Rogue Creamery Smokey Blue in these potatoes. Perfect!
Ingredients
Preparation
NotesIngredients
- 1 pound medium red potatoes, scrubbed and quartered Add to list
- 2 to 3 ounces of your favorite blue cheese Add to list
- 2 to 4 tablespoons butter Add to list
- 1/4 cup milk or half and half Add to list

Preparation
Place the potatoes in a pot of boiling, salted water, cover and cook until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Transfer the cooked potatoes to a bowl and add the blue cheese, butter, milk, salt and pepper. Mash the potatoes, skins and all, until all of the ingredients are blended. Add a little extra milk if the potatoes are too dry. Sprinkle with snipped chives.
