ingredients

4 large baking potatoes, washed
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup crumbled blue cheese, such as Roquefort, Gorgonzola, Saga Blue, Cabot Blue
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F Wrap each potato in foil and prick several times with a fork through the foil. Bake the potatoes until soft, about 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan heat the cream over high heat until it comes to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the cream is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Add the cheese and stir to blend.
Place the hot potatoes in a large bowl and use a potato masher or 2 large forks to smash them, skin and all. Fold the hot cream mixture into the potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Return the potatoes to the saucepan, and cover to keep hot.
