Creamy Stilton Mashed Potatoes
An Original Recipe by Lorraine Elliott
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 1-1.5 hours (depending on the size of potatoes)
- 1.5 kilos/3.3lbs Potatoes
- 150g/5ozs. English stilton blue cheese, crumbled (use more if you really like the flavour.)
- 1.5 cups cream or a 50/50 milk cream combo if you want it lower in fat
- 100g/3.5ozs. butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup green onions, finely sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Step 1 - Boil the potatoes in their skins until tender. Cool. Peel the skins off and pass them through a potato ricer.
Step 2 - Heat the cream and Stilton and melt the cheese into the cream (I helped it along by mashing it up with a potato masher). Add the mashed potato and stir. Add the cubes of butter and season generously with salt and pepper (it will need lots of salt). Stir through the green onions.
