Blue Cheese Smashed Potatoes
2 lbs. unpeeled thin-skinned
potatoes, such as new potatoes or
fingerlings, cut into 1/2 inch chunks
I used russet potatoes and peeled them.
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1/4 cup whole or low-fat milk
2 Tablespoons butter
1 cup crumbled blue cheese ( at room temperature)
Place garlic and potatoes along with about 5 cups water in
a large sauce pan and bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low
and let potatoes simmer, covered, until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the milk and the butter in a small sauce pan over low heat.
keep warm.
Drain the potatoes and garlic in a colander, then transfer to large bowl. Using
a potato masher or large fork, coarsely mash the potatoes and garlic. Add the warm milk and butter mixture and the blue cheese and mash to combine.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. If they have cooled, reheat them slowly in a medium sized sauce pan, stirring frequently, until warmed through, then serve. The smashed potatoes can be kept warm for up to 1 hour in the top of a double boiler set over simmering water.
