  • 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.
