Blue Cheese Potatoes

My friend at work, Linda, was telling me last week about finding a recipe online for Blue Cheese Potatoes, when trying to find a recipe to use up some remainder blue cheese. I took her concept, changed it up and made the dish tonight.

Oh my gosh, these were GREAT!!!! I paired the side dish with my repeat recipe for grilled London broil. They were mouth-watering and easy to prepare. Can't wait for leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

Blue Cheese Potatoes

5 medium russet potatoes

4 tablespoons butter

1 large red onion

4 oz blue cheese crumbles

4 slices bacon

salt and pepper

Wash potatoes good. Microwave for 3-1/2 to 4 minutes. In the meantime, remove outer layer of red onion and using a mandolin, slice into 1/4 inch rings. When potatoes are done microwaving, remove and cut in half, setting aside to cool. In a small fry pan, cook bacon until well done and crisp. Once potatoes are somewhat cooled, use the mandolin to slice into 1/4 thin pieces. In a large skillet, melt butter, add potatoes and onions, covering so they cook quicker with the steam, mixing often. When potatoes are tender, onions soft, season with salt and pepper, and stir in bacon and blue cheese crumbles. Mix over heat until cheese is melted.
