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)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Place the potato cubes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Allow them to rest for 1-2 minutes to evaporate excess moisture.

Step 6

Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or ricer until smooth.

Step 7

Gradually add the warm cream and butter mixture to the mashed potatoes, stirring to combine.

Step 8

Crumble the bleu cheese into the potatoes and stir until it melts and is fully incorporated.

Step 9

Season the mashed potatoes with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Transfer the Bleu Cheese Potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with chopped chives if desired. Serve warm.
