Walnuts and blue-cheese on potatoes?!? The flavor combination is less strange than you think: Blue cheese gives the creamy sauce a mild tartness that is complimented well with the savory flavor of the toasted almonds and the crisp fingerling potatoes. And the whole things comes together in just a few minutes.

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup 2% milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
