Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Blue cheese, crumbled
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and slice them into evenly sized chunks to ensure even cooking.
Place the potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a generous pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 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 melted and the mixture is warm. Stir in the minced garlic and remove from heat.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to sit for 1-2 minutes to let excess moisture evaporate.
Using a potato masher or a hand mixer, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy.
Gradually mix in the warm butter and cream mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the crumbled blue cheese until it is melted and well distributed throughout the potatoes.
Season the mashed potatoes with salt and black pepper to taste.
Transfer the blue cheese mashed potatoes to a serving bowl, garnish with chopped chives if desired, and serve warm.
