Ingredients
  

  • 4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and quartered
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 8-ounce package cream cheese
  • 2-3 Golden Delicious apples
  • 1 cup blue cheese
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 3 Tablespoons honey
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Instructions
 

  • Peel and chop the apples. Place them in a piece of tin foil and drizzle olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Wrap up the apples in the tin foil. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes.
  • The apples will be very soft.
  • Boil the potatoes in a large pot of water. Cook the potatoes until a knife comes out easily. Drain the potatoes and put in a large bowl. Mash with a potato masher, ricer, beaters, whatever your weapon of choice is. Add the roasted apples and mash them too.
  • Add the cream cheese. Mash that together.
  • Add the chives. I save some for garnish. Add the blue cheese.
  • Add the honey. Season well with salt and pepper. The blue cheese is salty, so season slowly and taste as you go. You may also need to add a little more honey to balance the flavors.
  • You absolutely could eat them at this point. I often have if I making these at the same time as I am making dinner. If I am making this ahead of time, I put the mashed potatoes in a casserole dish and bake in a 350 degree oven until golden brown and bubbly. Sometimes, I melt a little more blue cheese over the top. I like to make individual servings. I like not having to share the crust with anyone. I am greedy with a bubbly crust.
  • Garnish with the remaining chopped chives.
