I followed a mashed-potato recipe from Pat and Gina Neely.Paige Bennett

I made blue-cheese mashed potatoes using a recipe by Food Network stars Pat and Gina Neely.

I’ve tried a lot of tricks to make the classic side dish better, but this is one of my favorites.

If you don’t like blue cheese, they’re not for you, but I will definitely make these potatoes again.
Mashed potatoes have been accompanying my meals since I was a little kid.
I love making my own mashed potatoes.Paige Bennett
I love how easy it is to make mashed potatoes from scratch, and there’s always a new recipe to try.
I’ve tested many twists, from experimenting with the types of potatoes I use to changing the cooking time to adding unique mix-ins (like fresh herbs or lemon).
When I found a recipe from Food Network stars Pat and Gina Neely that calls for blue cheese, I knew I had to give it a try.
The recipe called for simple ingredients.
Other than the blue cheese, the ingredients are basic.Paige Bennett
I headed to the grocery store, but I only needed to pick up a few items. I already had butter, salt, and pepper, so I just needed Yukon Gold potatoes, heavy cream, and (the star of the show) blue cheese.
I decided to cut the recipe in half since I’m the only person in my house who likes blue cheese. It was an affordable grocery run.
The process starts like any good mashed-potato recipe.
I started by peeling, chopping, and boiling the potatoes.Paige Bennett
The instructions were straightforward. Although the recipe didn’t say to peel the potatoes, I don’t love potato skins in my mashed potatoes, so I took a couple of extra minutes to add the step.
From there, I cut the potatoes into 1-inch pieces and placed them in a large pot. I covered the potatoes with cool water, added salt, and let them come to a boil.
Once they were boiling, I cooked the potatoes for about 15 minutes, until they were fork-tender.
The most interesting step was making the cheesy, creamy sauce.
I’m a big fan of blue cheese, but it’s not everyone’s…
