Blue Cheese Mashed Potatoes

October 08, 2021

Blue Cheese Mashed Potatoes are a delicious side dish recipe that is awesome served with roast beef, brisket or steak!

If you’re a lover of blue cheese, then you will love these blue cheese mashed potatoes. They are nothing like my creamy oven-baked mashed potatoes. Instead, they are chunky and flavored with plenty of blue cheese!

You do not need gravy for these mashed potatoes. Instead, you can serve them as a potato side dish all on their own with beef tenderloin, ribeye, brisket or roast beef. Blue cheese is a delicious pairing with beef of any kind.

Ingredients needed:

red potatoes
garlic cloves
crumbled blue cheese
1% milk
fresh parsley
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

How to make Blue Cheese Mashed Potatoes:

Cut the potatoes into chunks. This is a potato salad recipe where you do not need to take the skin off the potatoes. You’ll be mashing them with skin and all. If this doesn’t appeal to you, peel the potatoes before cutting them into chunks.

Boil potatoes and peeled garlic cloves for about 15 minutes (until tender). Drain.

Add drained potatoes and garlic to a bowl. Add blue cheese, milk, parsley, salt and pepper to the bowl too. Mash it all with a potato masher to a desired consistency. These blue cheese mashed potatoes will not be smooth like traditional mashed potatoes. They will have a chunkier texture to them.

Add a pat of butter on top, if you’d like, and let it melt into the mashed potatoes. You can sprinkle more blue cheese crumbles and fresh parsley on top too. Make it look as pretty as you want!

These potatoes are delicious served on their own. Add butter if you’d like. No sauce or gravy is necessary unless your main dish happens to include some that you’d like to spoon over. Enjoy!
