Warm rosemary herb butter is added to these blue cheese mashed potatoes for the best potato side dish you’ll ever have in your life!
It’s day 3 of Thanksgiving Week on the blog and I’m so excited to share this side dish that first appeared on the blog in 2013. Now with delicious new images to match this incredibly delicious potato dish!
Every time I make these blue cheese mashed potatoes, family and friends always agree that these are “the best mashed potatoes they’ve ever had!“
The combination of rosemary herb butter and creamy blue cheese adds so much flavor to a classic mashed potato recipe!
If you’re making this dish for Thanksgiving, you can prep it ahead of time. You can then finish the dish by baking it in the oven for 5-7 minutes, right before serving it.
I find that mashed potatoes are one of the hardest dishes to keep warm on the Thanksgiving dinner table, so this recipe is perfect for preventing cold, sad mashed potatoes. We all want warm, fun, flavorful mashed potatoes at our Thanksgiving dinners, am I right?! 😉
