Gorgonzola Smashed Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds baby red potatoes cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks (unpeeled)
- 3/4 to 1 cup half-and-half warmed (see Tips)
- 1 Tablespoon salted butter
- 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the potato chunks. Boil the potatoes just until they are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes in a colander. Place them in a large bowl. Mash them lightly with a fork. Stir 3/4 cup of the half-and-half and the butter into the potatoes. Add more half-and-half, as needed, if the potatoes seem too dry. Stir in the cheese and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Tip:
- To warm the half-and-half, just pour it into a glass measuring cup and heat it in the microwave or in a small saucepan on the stove. It should only take a short time, but watch it closely so it doesn't bubble up and over the cup.

What is half and half? 🙂

Hi Daniel, it’s a mixture of light cream and milk. Hope that helps!

Wow – beautiful photos in Lori’s cookbook! To me, that’s a sign of a perfect cookbook. Can’t wait to check it out. And smashed is the only way to go when it comes to potatoes. Well, unless they’re fried. Oh, potatoes! They are the best!

You know I love gorgonzola! I thought goat cheese made the ultimate mashed potatoes but I may have to give this one a shot! 🙂

Renee @ Awesome on $20 says
I eat mashed potatoes like they’re a dessert, but I’ve never thrown gorgonzola in there, which is just an added layer of heaven. I can’t wait to try these.
