  1. I made this recipe exactly as specified with 2 deviations. I used three pounds of potatoes, and added 2 tablespoons of sour cream to compensate for the fact that I didn't have extra blue cheese for the extra pound of potatoes. Other than that, no changes were made. I did not add butter or salt, and I found this recipe very flavorful and tangy and surprisingly light. I used Creative Classics brand blue cheese crumbles and the flavor came through very well. I would serve this again with roast chicken (as I did tonite), a roast beef or pork chops. A very tasty and versatile dish. (My mom did add some butter and salt at the table, but she butters everything and would salt beef jerky if we let her!)
     
  2. I like potatoes and love blue cheese so this worked for me. I added a lot of garlic powder after it was cooked as well as a bit of salt. I just did half the recipe for two of us. Thanks Miller
     
  3. As prepared according to these directions, I had to call in life support: butter, more milk, some heavy cream, more blue cheese and, of course, salt. By the time I served these with our grilled steak and corn on the cob, they were quite passable - but I still lament my loss of such a big chunk of blue cheese for such ho-hum results. This was disappointing!
     
  4. 8/23/2011 - Updating b/c I noticed no stars! <br/>3/22/2011 - I'm just updating my review . I make these frequently and I cannot say enough how wonderful these potatoes are! Miller left a legacy. Don't hesitate to try these. <br/>========== <br/>UTTERLY FANTASTIC!!! I followed the recipe to a T, but used a heaping soup spoonful of minced garlic from the jar because I hate peeling and chopping fresh garlic and threw that in with the boiling potatoes. I used 4 medium sized idaho potatoes (are those russets?), and added about 2 TB of butter as I mashed them with the hand masher. I mixed up the milk, 4 oz of blue cheese, pepper and fresh parsley I cut with scissors (I find it literally impossible to chop fresh parsley with a knife!), and slowly used my handmixer on low to blend it all in. The blue cheese taste was absolutely PERFECT! Not too strong with a nice blue cheese flavor, certainly not too weak on the blue cheese flavor at all. I highly recommend these!! Not only are they tasty, they are very quick and easy to make! Can't wait to make them again!
     
  5. made these along side "no peek" prime rib, and they were delicious!! We are blue cheese fenatics, so I increased the amount of blue cheese by 2 ounces, and otherwise made them according to the recipe. I did add a little bit of salt, just because I think all homemade potatoes need it. We will make these again! Thanks Mille!!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Gavin "Miller" Duncan passed away November 12, 2004 in Laurel, MD from complications of a "broken" heart. The outpouring of support from the Recipezaar community while his health was declining was a huge comfort to him and even "perked him up" a bit in his final month. Miller was a huge asset to Recipezaar, not only due to his incredible collection of recipes, but his participation in the forums. Miller was known for his wonderful low-sodium recipes, his warmth, and last, but not least, his wicked, dry sense of humor. Liza at Recipezaar ********************************************************* No, the picture to the left is not me. It is, in fact, a picture of famous TV Chef Jamie Oliver (a/k/a Thpit Boy)’s grandfather, the late Sir Topaz McWhacker. Note the strong family resemblance, most noticeable in the nose, eyebrows, and general lack of cleanliness Legend has it that Topaz taught Thpit everything that he knows about whacking and about only washing and combing his hair twice a year. . Instead of the trivia that many Recipezaar members have displayed on their “About Me” pages, I thought it might be a tad more helpful if I were to provide some beneficial information that you can put to good practical use either in your own kitchen or when you are watching the antics of some celebrated TV chefs. So, for your enlightenment..... . . Chairman Kaga: When he says “Ion Shff”, he really means “Iron Chef” or, perhaps, “I need a Kleenex” . Chef Paula Deen: When she says “awl”, she really means “oil”. When she says “y’all”, she really means “everyone except m’all”. When she says “bring the water to a bawl”, I have no clue what she means - I thought you could only make a baby “bawl”. And, boys and girls, you can easily Deenize the sentences that you use in your very own kitchen, such as “All y’all can bawl your corn in olive awl or wrap it in aluminum fawl”. . Emeril Lagasse: When he says “confectionery sugar’, he really means “confectioners’ sugar”. When he says “pappa-reeka”, he really means “paprika”. When he says “inside of”, he really means “in”. When he says “a little”, he really means “a lot”. Have you ever tried to count the number of times he says “a little” during any given show? Don’t – it will drive you nuts. When he says “cardamin”, he really means “cardamom”. When he says “my water don’t come seasoned”, what he really means is “I need a new joke writer”. When he says “that www dot food thing”, he really means “I flunked Computerese 101”. . Iron Chef Morimoto: When he says “Foo Netwu”, he really means “Food Network”. . Dessert Dude Jacques Torres: When he says “I going”, he really means “I am going”. (The verb “to be” has apparently been deleted from the French language.) . Spit Boy Jamie Oliver: When he says “whack it in the oven”, he really means “I am into hot, kinky stuff”. When he says “Bob’s yer uncle”, what he really means is “you’d better ask your aunt how well she REALLY knew that mailman named Robert”. When he says “rocket”, he really means “an older weapon being used in Iraq”. When he says “Fewd Netwuk”, he really means “Food Network”. . Numerous chefs: When they say “codfish” and “tunafish”, what they really mean is “cod” and “tuna”, respectively. Please note that they use these terms so that you don’t go out and buy “codanimal” or “tunavegetable” by mistake. Having said that, I have no clue as to why they don’t refer to “troutfish”, “salmonfish”, “red snapperfish”, etc., etc. . Giggly-Wiggly Rachael Ray: When she says “EVOO”, she really means “don’t use BOCO (boring old corn oil)”. When she says “a little lettuce action going on”, she really means “with only 8 minutes left in the game, cabbages are still in the lead, but lettuces are making a strong comeback”. . Two Fat Ladies: When they say “I gwing”, they really mean “I am going” or “Sorry, but we have been watching too many episodes of Jacques Torres’ show”. . Please note that the above is not all-inclusive. If there are other celebrity chef words or phrases that have you stumped, please post an "ISO" message in the discussion forums and I will find the translation for you.
