smokeydrew,
thanks! Last week I posted a request for any recipes for using these giant 1.5 pound red tators that my neighbors brought from Indiana. To think I can make your recipe with just one tator fits the bill and I can make a salad for them in return!

I was with you until...
"Remove from heat and pour onto baking sheet with potatoes. [p]Add bacon, blue cheese, and scallions and toss generously.[p]Pour on to baking sheet? how come?

RRP,
I just copied the recipe as they had it in the magazine "Cuisine at Home". No real reason to pour onto the baking sheet that I can think of (other than to mess up another dish and make the wife mad).[p]I loved this recipe since I'm not big on mayonaise based potato salad. Hope you enjoy.[p]-smokeydrew

smokeydrew,
Awesome sounding recipe.
Blue Cheese is great stuff.
I just heard from a friend about a steak fajitas recipe with Blue Cheese.
