English Stilton Potatoes Recipe

People either love blue veined cheeses of hate them. If you love them, you probably consider them to be the king of all cheeses. Salty, creamy, pungent, complex, and crumbly, they are made by innoculating with penecillium, a fungus.

The best are English Stilton from cows, Italian Gorgonzola also from cows, and French Roquefort from sheep, and they are most often used to dress salads. But they melt easily and make great sauces for pasta and even potatoes. The recipe here calls for Stilton, but it is expensive and hard to find, so feel free to subsittute another type blue cheese.

So simple. So quick. So tasty. Why haven't you done this before?

Recipe

Yield: Makes 2 servings
Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes

Ingredients
1 pound (2 baseball size) waxy potatoes
2 teaspoons butter or margarine
2 teaspoons English Stilton or other blue cheese
2 teaspoons chopped chives
Table salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.

Do this
1) Bring the butter and the blue cheese to room temp. In a large bowl, smush them together with a fork until blended.

2) Peel the potatoes (or not), and cut them into bite-size chunks. Boil the chunks until they are soft, but not mushy, about 10 minutes. Drain. Toss them in with the cheesy butter.

3) Take the chives and bundle them like pencils. With a scissors cut them into 1/8" bits and add toss into the potatoes.

4) Salt and pepper to taste.

GrillGrates Take Your Grill Into the Infrared ZoneHot Stuff Barbecue Award

GrillGrates are the best new product I have tested in years and the best thing to happen to beef since salt and pepper.

They sit on top of your current grill's grates. The hard anodized aircraft grade aluminum rail tops are flat and wide and make perfect dark crunchy grill marks. The base superheats yet eliminates hot spots and blocks flareups. This is the same concept behind the expensive new infrared grills.

Juices drip in the valleys between the rails and are vaporized and penetrate the meat enhancing flavor. I throw wood between the rails and they impart a delicate smoke flavor. I have made my best steaks and burgers ever with Grill Grates. This is a really great new product! Click here to read more and for ordering info.
