My husband made this for Mother's Day dinner. Served with Ribeye and steamed asparagus it looked impressive on the plate. He should have checked reviews to see what others had tweaked to make it theirs. He increased the liquid (3/4 c. cream)and reduced the cooking time of the sauce. He added 2 oz more of the bleu cheese (remainder of package) to have a little more "punch". As others have suggested, sauteed onions, garlic and maybe rosemary would be a nice touch. It was ok. Will try to morph the leftovers into a cheesy potato soup.

Maybe more blue cheese.

These were very creamy tasty potatoes however I was hoping for more of a blue cheese taste. I may try this recipe again and change the amounts of ingredients.

Used red potatoes, turned out very nice.

not a good recipe

Very good as written. To keep a sauce or gravy lump-free, slide the pan off direct heat, whisk in the liquid, then return the pan to heat and continue to cook gently. It works for all the roux (flour and fat) based gravy/sauces. I look for blue with the most blue veining - it has the sharpest flavor. The only thing I changed was to cut the potatoes into slabs rather than cubes; that way I could more-or-less layer the sauce within the potatoes.

My hubby just loved these potatoes. He would give way more stars if he could. Me not so much. following other reviewers suggestions, I cut way back on the flour and butter for the roux, and I am very glad that I did. I added some Creole seasoning and a half a cup of parmesan cheese. It was maybe a 4 star for me. Thanks for posting the recipe.

Good not great. Very rich.

I give the recipe 2 stars, but my results were definitely 5 star. I had to make way too many changes to it. Just looking at the recipe, you can tell something's not right. For one thing, 1/2 cup each of butter and flour is WAY too much roux for just 2 cups of liquid. My bechamel would have been a brick! Additionally, this recipe needed flair. It has practically no flavoring except the blue cheese. So I sauteed some garlic and Herbs de Provence with the butter to infuse it with a little seasoning (I'm sure any other herbs you like would be fine) before I added the flour and liquids. I doubled the amount of blue cheese, added Kosher salt to taste, a hit of white pepper, and just a pinch of nutmeg to give it that little something that makes you go "Hmm." Remember to always TASTE your sauce and correct the seasonings as necessary. It's too late once your food comes out of the oven! I had a pouch of Simply Potatoes hash browns on hand, so I stirred those into the sauce instead of having to cook the potatoes first, and it made things MUCH easier on me. Topped off the casserole with panko bread crumbs, and the results were mouthwatering. So, 2 stars for a decent starting point, but I definitely had to change it to make it interesting.

I agree with the others that the proportions are a bit off here. I played around with amounts, and added seasonings, garlic, and bits of bacon before baking them at 400 degrees for one hour. With the amendments, they were decent.
