    Harrogate Blue Cheesy Mash Recipe

    Prep time: 8
    Cook time: 12
    Servings: 4-6

    Ingredients

    • 900g Floury Potatoes, Desiree or Maris Piper
    • 100g Unsalted butter
    • 150g Harrogate Blue cheese
    • 50ml Full-fat milk
    • 4 Tablespoons double cream

    Instructions

    • Peel the potatoes just before cooking, so they stay soft.
    • Cut into even size chunks, and put them into a pan with cold water and a little salt, bring to the boil.
    • Reduce the heat and simmer until just tender (test by inserting a sharp knife).
    • Drain well in a colander and return to the pan, mash them immediately.
    • Warm the milk gently. Beat the butter with a wooden spoon, then gradually mix in the warm milk followed by the cream.
    • Add to the mashed potatoes and beat until fluffy and light. The mash should be buttery,creamy and velvety in texture.
    • Finally, cube or crumble the cheese into 1cm cubes and gently fold into the mash.
    • The golden colour of the Harrogate Blue should swirl through the potato as the cheese melts.
    • Garnish with parsley and serve.
