These potatoes are always a hit at my parties. They're so easy to make and they always disappear quickly.

Overall, I thought this recipe was good. The potatoes were flavorful and the Stilton and bacon added a nice touch. However, I think it could have been better if I had used a different type of cheese.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my potatoes didn't turn out crispy at all. They were still delicious, but I was disappointed with the texture.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and salt and pepper, and it was much better.

These potatoes were a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less bacon next time.

I'm not a big fan of Stilton cheese, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The potatoes were delicious and the Stilton flavor was not overpowering.

I followed the recipe exactly and the potatoes turned out great! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The Stilton and bacon added a lot of flavor, and the garlic butter was the perfect finishing touch.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and the potatoes are always a hit. I usually use a sharp cheddar cheese instead of Stilton, but it's still delicious.

These potatoes were delicious! I used a mix of Yukon Gold and red potatoes, and they were both perfectly cooked. The Stilton and bacon added a lot of flavor, and the garlic butter was the perfect finishing touch.
