By Addie

"I can imagine this served with a char-grilled steak topped with garlic butter. This was cut out of a 1990 Bon Appetit. Well better late than never, I have Sundays dinner menu to drool over!"

Made this last weekend to bring to a friend's barbeque. Everyone raved about it! I used Roquefort cheese, since the type of bleu cheese wasn't specified. The flavor was wonderful! The salad was easy to prepare, and I will definately make this again.

I made a serving for 4 and it was great. We had a little left over for tomorrow. Served with chicken tenders.

Great creamy potato salad. I love the addition of the blue cheese. As a slight variation, i added about 2 tablespoons my favorite buffalo sauce (suicidal buffalo wing sauce from the Anchor Bar in Buffalo: www.buffalowings.com) which gives this potato salad a nice tangy kick.

Fantastic! I do feel it calls for some chill time, though. I will admit I was a bit disappointed right after I mixed it up and tasted to adjust seasonings--even though I love every ingredient included, it just tasted a bit too sharp. Fortunately, I had made it earlier in the day and by the time I served it, the flavors had melded and mellowed and it was just fabulous. I used Chardonnay for the wine and Gorgonzola as the bleu cheese. My husband wanted to make sure I passed along his kudos as well--he just loved it! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

This is absolutely fabulous! I've made it twice already, including for my own 40th birthday party. I prefer using Gorgonzola, but regular ol' blue cheese, like Treasure Cave is OK, too. And, if you have too much dressing made for the potatoes, it's great on salad, too!
