Being the bleu cheese lover I am, I LOVED this! It was such a nice change from the usual mashed potatoes. Thanks!

I served this on St. Patty's day with corned beef & cabbage. My family liked these, but I thought they would have a stronger flavor. I will make these again as they made a nice accompaniment to the corned beef.
