It may have been that I couldn't find heirloom potatoes and I had to use russets, but I found the mixture to be fairly dry. I didn't want to add more oil, so mixed a little ranch and sour cream to use as a topper. However, even without the topper, the flavors were great! -
We enjoyed these potatoes. The gorgonzola is a fantastic and unexpected twist. There were six people at dinner tonight and they had varying comments -- some thought too much arugula, others thought too much cheese. But they all agreed that they liked it. Thanks so much PBShakes for a new take on mashed potatoes -- please post more of your recipes. Made, enjoyed and reviewed for Pick a Chef.
