Twice Baked Rosemary Blue Potato Mash
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for baking dish
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped rosemary leaves
- Freshly cracked black pepper
- 6 Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- Kosher salt
- 1 1/4 cups crumbled blue cheese (recommended: Shropshire blue)
- Butter a 6 to 8 cup shallow baking dish.
- In a small saucepan, heat the butter, garlic, rosemary and pepper, to taste, until the butter is melted.
- Allow it to sit over very low heat to infuse flavors and keep hot while cooking the potatoes.
- In a large pot, add the potatoes, cover with water and add a heavy pinch of salt.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and simmer the potatoes until fork tender, about 15 minutes.
- Immediately drain the potatoes and then put them back into hot pot over very low heat, to dry thoroughly.
- Next, pass them through a food mill over a bowl.
- If you don't have a food mill, you can hand mash or use a ricer.
- Preheat the oven broiler.
- Remove the smashed garlic from warm butter and whisk in about 1 cup of the blue cheese.
- By hand, mix the cheese sauce into the potatoes and season with a little salt and pepper, to taste.
- Spread into the prepared baking dish and top with remaining cheese.
- Broil until the cheese is golden and melting, about 3 minutes.
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and serve.
