Ingredients

• 2 pounds blue potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
• 0.25 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chives, finely chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Wash and scrub the blue potatoes thoroughly, then chop them into bite-sized pieces, leaving the skins on for added color and texture.

Step 3

Place the chopped potatoes in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss to coat the potatoes evenly.

Step 4

Transfer the potatoes to a large baking sheet and spread them out into a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges.

Step 5

While the potatoes are roasting, heat a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, ensuring the garlic does not burn.

Step 6

Add the blue cheese and heavy cream to the saucepan, stirring continuously until the cheese is melted and the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Stir in the chopped rosemary and remove the sauce from the heat.

Step 7

Once the potatoes are roasted, transfer them to a serving dish and drizzle the blue cheese sauce over the top. Gently toss to coat the potatoes in the sauce.

Step 8

Garnish the dish with a sprinkle of fresh chives and serve immediately. Enjoy your flavorful and colorful 'Blue on Blue Potatoes'!
