Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"This potato dish is a must served with prime rib! You can use gorgonzola in place of Roquefort. This makes a huge amount so it is a perfect dish to serve for a dinner party, of coarse you can cut the recipe in half. Please don't leave out the dried rosemary, it really adds extra flavor."
