We LOVE this recipe!! It is incredible... I have made it three times and each time it's as good as the first. My family requests it weekly, that is how wonderful it is! I changed out the blue cheese for gorgonzola for a smoother flavor and my family loved it even more! AWESOME recipe. Thank you Paula for giving my family wonderful meals! We love you!

I made this recipe the other night and modified it to my families liking. I used red potatoes since thats what I had on hand. As for the cheese I used monteray jack and mild cheddar cheese, for a total of 3 cups. I cooked as directed and the last 15 minutes I added panko bread crumbs to the top. I also gave it a minute or two under the broiler at the end for added crispiness and color. My husband and kids tore up these potatoes!!!!!!!

I made this for a dinner party and folks asked for the recipe. I used Yukon Gold potatoes since I couldn't find blues and I added enough potatoes to the dish to feed 14 people. I put it together the night before and baked it the next day - it was yummy.

We tried this on Christmas Day -- we all took a bite, looked at each other, and immediately agreed that this recipe was a keeper! Absolutely delicious...I have already shared it with a couple of friends.

After making this dish I have to give it the highest rating. I couldn't find Blue Potatoes, so I used a very expensive and moist potato called French Finerlings. It was incredible. My family said this is our new favorite potato dish. I served it for Chrstmas eve and it was really special. Some of my family does not like blue cheese so I prepared this dish in individual ramekins. That way I could omit the blue cheese in half of the dishes. My only recommendation is to go easy with buttering the pan. It didn't take that much. Also, it took me over an hour to prepare the dish before I put it in the oven. Maybe I am a little slow, but peeling that many potatoes took the longest even though I usede a mandolin. I highly recommend this dish and the warmed up leftovers were excellent as well.

I made this with a beef tenderloin for some friends over for dinner. We all loved it. The cheese flavors really made it.
