Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds red new potatoes, quartered
2 cloves garlic, smashed
5 to 6 strips bacon
1/4 pound Gorgonzola cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup heavy cream, room temperature
1 tablespoon butter, room temperature
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Add potatoes and garlic to a medium pot and fill with enough cold water to cover the potatoes by an inch. Season with salt and bring water to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until potatoes are soft, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, fry bacon in a skillet until crisp. Set aside on a paper towel to drain. Roughly chop and reserve.
  • Drain potatoes and garlic and place them back in the pot with the cheese, heavy cream, butter and chopped bacon. Roughly mash, adding more cream if needed. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes.
  • Peel and cut the potatoes into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Bring the potatoes to a boil in salted water, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until they are tender.
  • Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
  • Add the butter, milk, sour cream, salt, and pepper and mash until smooth.
  • Divide the mashed potatoes in half. Stir blue food coloring in one batch and red in the other.
  • Layer the red and blue mashed potatoes in a serving dish.
  • Top with additional butter, milk, sour cream, salt, and pepper, if desired.
  • Garnish with chopped chives or parsley.

Conclusion:

Red and blue mashed potatoes are a fun and festive way to celebrate any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Serve them as a side dish or as the main course. They are sure to be a hit with family and friends!
