These were ok-we thought they were kind of bland. The kids didn't care for them at all. I don't think the addition of blue cheese & bacon really added anything to the potatoes & there DEFINATELY wasn't enough butter to fry them in-I ended up adding much more & when that all soaked into the potatoes, I just added oil. I covered them(like I always do fried potatoes).

My husband thought this was a 4 or 5, but I just couldn't. I'll make again because I liked it, but will make changes. I'm going to either dice or shred the potatoes. It was to hard frying such thick slices. Also, the blue cheese was to overbearing for me. I'll use less & add some cheddar jack or monterey jack type cheese. My onions burnt putting them in right away with the thick sliced potatoes. Being so thick, the potatoes didn't cook through well either.(I used a large frying pan even) I think I'd probably add miced garlic & not cook the bacon as long so when it is added to potatoes it can finish browning. These were good, but for me needs tweeking if I'm to make again. If hubby cooks, he'll probably do as is.

Deeelish! I completely forgot to add the bacon, but it turned out just fine. Fab all around! Oh, and i did double to amount of potatoes, which made it more like four servings, since I was figuring no way on earth would 2 potatoes feed 4 people.

I don't know if I cooked these too quickly or what, but they came out mushy instead of crispy. The flavor was good but the texture/consistency was awful. We threw out the leftovers. I think next time I would bake the potato slices until crispy and then saute the onions and toss with the potatoes and blue cheese just to blend.

LOVE these! Fabulous taste. The one reviewer is right about needing a lot of cook time though. They do take awhile, but worth the wait!

Good except by the time the potatoes were cooked through the onions were burnt to a crisp! Had to take them all out before adding the cheese & bacon. Next time I would cook the onion first then remove and add back to the potato once cooked.

This was AMZING! I haven't found one person who didn't love it! The only thing I did was add more blue cheese than it called for! Thanks for such a great recipe!!!

Add a dollop of sour cream at the table if you want to soften the strong taste of the blue cheese.

These potatoes were excellent! I fried them up while my husband grilled some burgers. I too waited 5-7 minutes before adding my onions and also used 5 oz bleu cheese. We enjoyed these a lot more than the regular potatoes and onions on the grill.

These were very tasty! I used some of the bacon grease to cook the potatoes and only a 1/2 tbls. butter. I also used a mix of shredded mozzarella and cheddar instead of blue cheese, just because my husband is allergic. I think it would have been even better with the blue cheese, though.

I fixed this with a steak and peas and we really enjoyed it. I used red potatoes because that's what I had on hand. I added a little water to the potatoes and onions and covered the skillet and let the potatoes steam. We will definitely make this again.

It was OK, but you really need to like blue cheese because the flavor is overwhelming. I smothered mine in ketchup. However my dad who is a big blue cheese fan LOVED this recipe.

I made this as a side dish with brats and it was great. My husband and I love blue cheese, bacon, and potatoes so this recipe was a natural for us. The blue cheese adds a little bite without being overwhelming. I suggest that if you really like more blue cheese flavor use more cheese or a stronger variety of blue cheese. I will definitely be making this again.

We loved it. I did have to put about 1/2 cup water in with potatoes to really get them cooking and somewhat softer. Just kept stirring then. came out just delicious and savory. We had it with steak. Will make again for sure... and I'm not even a bleu cheese lover! :-)

This is a good side dish. The cooking time of the potatoes took a bit longer than stated but the flavors were great. Next time I will do them in tin foil on the grill.

I LOVE all the ingredients, and expected to LOOOOOOOVE this. I didn't at all. It was so heavy and greasy, and the bleu cheese/bacon clashed horribly. Not recommended. Sorry.

Absolutely loved this. I used Gorganzola which is a somewhat milder blue cheese, and that works for my family. It's so nice to find a new potato side dish! Thanks!
