These mashed potatoes are a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll try them again with less bacon and stilton.

I'm not sure why this recipe calls for stilton cheese. I think it would be just as good with cheddar or Parmesan cheese.

I'm not a big fan of stilton, so I used cheddar cheese instead. The mashed potatoes were still delicious, and my family loved them.

I wasn't sure how the stilton would taste with potatoes, but I was pleasantly surprised. It added a nice tanginess that balanced out the richness of the bacon.
