Mmmm I made this last Friday night, unfortunately the children dont care for Blue cheese so I substituted Ricotta and still got a rich and delicious Potato Bake....there was a Little left, which my husband had the next day and said it was even better by then!!!! I am looking forward to making it as it should be, with the blue cheese, and I cant imagine that there will be ANY left over then!!!! Incidentally, it was also very quick and easy to put together. This will be my potato dish when we next entertain.

This is a delicious, sophisticated dish with a wonderful combination of textures and flavors. I did have a rough time mashing the cheese and cream, so I resorted to my immersion blender. I also used half cream/half milk, but the potatoes were still delicious and rich.
