Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 ounces Bleu cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and let the potatoes simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat the heavy cream and butter in a small saucepan over low heat until the butter is fully melted. Stir to combine and set aside.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to rest for 1-2 minutes to evaporate excess moisture.
Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or ricer until smooth.
Gradually add the warm cream and butter mixture to the mashed potatoes, stirring to combine.
Crumble the bleu cheese into the potatoes and stir until it melts and is fully incorporated.
Season the mashed potatoes with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the Bleu Cheese Potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped chives if desired. Serve warm.
